Early life
She was born on 10 October 1913 in Munich, Germany, as the only daughter of Prince Alfons of Bavaria and Princess Louise of Orléans. Her early life was shaped by the institutional privileges of the House of Wittelsbach until the collapse of the Bavarian monarchy during the German Revolution of 1918. Despite the loss of formal royal standing, she spent her youth being educated within the traditional social expectations of the former ruling dynasty alongside her elder brother, Prince Joseph Clemens.
Marriage and later life
On 6 May 1939, Elisabeth married her first husband, Count Franz Joseph von Kageneck (1915–1941), at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich. This marriage produced three children:
Hubertus Graf von Kageneck (born 1940), who married four times and had no issue .
Michael Graf von Kageneck (1941–2012), who married three times and had issue.
Peter Graf von Kageneck (1941–2009), who married Brigitte von Sievers and had issue.
