Elisabeth von Rieneck

Elisabeth von Rieneck (c. 1260 – c. 1300) was the daughter of Count Louis III of Rieneck. The peace of 1271, which ended the long conflict with the Archbishops of Mainz over the western Spessart, stipulated her marriage to Ulrich I of Hanau. Betrothed in 1272 while both were still children, they were to marry six years later.

Her rich dowry, including the town of Steinau an der Straße, greatly strengthened the young Lordship of Hanau. Her son Ulrich II later succeeded as lord, and she was buried at Arnsburg Abbey.
