Gertrude of Austria

My 24th great-grandmother died at age 30 after she had 4 children.

Gertrude of Babenberg (c. 1118 – 8 April 1150) was the first wife of Vladislaus II of Bohemia and the Duchess of Bohemia. She was the daughter of count Leopold III, Margrave of Austria and his wife Agnes of Germany.

Gertrude married Duke of Bohemia in 1140. Through her mother, she was half-sister of Conrad III of Germany, so she was a good catch for Vladislaus. In the time of siege of Prague by Conrad II of Znojmo (1142) she successfully defended Prague Castle, together with her brother-in-law Děpolt, while Vladislaus asked Conrad III of Germany for help.
She was took share in Vladislaus founding activity and thanks to her the duke invited to Czech lands new religious orders. She gave birth to four children and died in 1150, at the age of 30.
