Elisabeth de Bar

Elizabeth of Bar also known as Elisabeth (Isabel) de Bar-Pierrepont, was born c. 1345 at Hagestein, Zeeland, Netherlands. She was the youngest daughter of Theobald de Bar, Seigneur de Pierrepont and his wife Marie de Namur.^[1] When her father, Theobald, died between 2 August 1353 and 6 July 1354, and because he had no legitimate male heir, she became the heiress of Bar-Pierrepont.
