Biography
Kimburg was born in Warsaw, in the Duchy of Mazovia in 1394 (or 1397), in the family of Duke Zemovit IV Piast and Alexandra of Lithuania, daughter of Olgerd, Grand Duke of Lithuania from the Gedeminovi dynasty. She was the niece of Vladislav II Jagiello , the king of Poland.
Although the elder brother of her future spouse, Duke Wilhelm of Austria, was never able to marry Princess Jadwiga of Poland , Archduke Ernst of Austria, after the death of Margarita Pomeranskaya's first wife, arrived in Krakow at the court of the kings of Poland to ask for the hand of Princess Kimburgi Mazowiecki.
The wedding took place in 1412 in the city of Buda , in the palace of Sigismund, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire . At that time, the emperor was a mediator in the negotiations between the uncle of the bride, the King of Poland and the Master of the Teutonic Order . The marriage turned out to be happy. Kimburg Mazowiecka became the second, after Gertrude Hohenberg , the progenitor of all later lines of the Hapsburgs in the male line.
According to some researchers, it was she who brought prognathism into the Habsburg clan - a protruding lower lip, which was a special anatomical feature of the majority of members of the clan for many generations, up to the XVIII century. However, the statue of Kimburgi Mazowiecki in the Hofkirche in the city of Innsbruck does not have this feature, while the great-grandfather of her husband, the Duke Albert I of Austria , this feature is present in the portrait.
According to legend, she was also known for her exceptional strength. Could, for example, hammer nails into the wall with bare hands and chop nuts between your fingers. This sign was transmitted to one of her descendants, Augustus the Strong , who tore the horseshoes with his bare hands.
Kimburg Mazowiecki outlived her husband and died in Turnitz, Austria, in the archduchy on September 28, 1429. She was buried in Lilienfeld Abbey .
