Isabella of Austria, also known as Elisabeth (born July 18, 1501, died January 19, 1526), was a queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden as the wife of King Christian II. She was the daughter of King Philip I and Queen Joanna of Castille and the sister of Emperor Charles I. She was born in Brussels and ruled Denmark as regent in 1520.
Elisabeth wrote this letter to her husband on February 16, 1524 asking him to let her come to him, as the Elector Joachim I Nestor of Brandenburg seemed upset at her stay with his wife, the King's sister, Elisabeth of Brandenburg (Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden), who, on Hans von Schönberg's advice, warns him against aspirations and urges him to promote his affairs as much as possible.
The letter:
