Information About

Cymburgis Of Masovia




As the mother of Emperor Frederick III she became the ancestor of all later Habsburg s, as only his line of the family survived in male line. Although unlikely, it has been claimed that she brought the famous Habsburg Lip into the family, a particular physical characteristic of most members of the family for many generations until the 18th Century . It can even be recognized in some of her distant descendants today (though not as markedly), e.g. in King Juan Carlos I Of Spain .

She was also known for her exceptional strength, which she showed by e.g. pulling iron nails from walls with bare hands. Strength also distinguished one of her descendants, August The Strong .
