Original name: Elsa Elisabet Brahe

Countess Palatine. She was the wife of Count of Adolph John in his second marriage (his family after 1660 was no longer considered Swedish royalty). Elsa being short for Elizabeth, her name is remarkable in that it actually (formally) was Elizabeth Elizabeth. Married earlier to Count Erik Axelsson Oxenstierna, she gave birth a total of 19 times. She and Adolph John had bad reputations especially because they were accused of child abuse.
