Elizabeth is reputed to have been a very vigorous, self-confident and physicaly strong woman. Due to reports of her contemporaries she was capable of bending horseshoes with her bare hands, also breaking big knives and riping apart armour or wielding a full-sized sword. She bore six children to Charles:

• Anne of Bohemia (1366–1394), who was married to Richard II of England
• Sigismund (1368–1437), the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia and Hungary.
• John, Duke of Görlitz (1370–1396).
• Charles (13 March 1372–24 July 1373).
• Margaret (1373–1410), who was married to John III, Burgrave of Nuremberg.
• Heinrich (1377–1378).

After her husband's death at 29 November 1378 in Prague, Elizabeth's stepson Wenceslaus IV, son of Charles's previous wife, ascended the throne. Elizabeth then cared for her own two sons, mainly the older Sigismund, whom she supported in his efforts to become the king of Hungary.
