Kalos kagathos as practiced at the court of Casimir IV Jagiellon, or how a „less-thanlovely” Habsburg woman became a mother of kings
This article presents, for the first time, a complete compilation of sources confirming the ugliness of Elisabeth Habsburg, wife of Casimir Jagiellon. It also explains how the authors of the sources dealt with the fact that in Elisabeth’s case, the description anime et corpus (where a beautiful body should correspond to the beauty of the soul) could not be applied.
