Notes about Sabine van Beieren-München

The Archduchess Sabine von Wuerttemberg is credited with founding the University of Wuerttemberg-Moempelgard and the Hotel de Kunigunde, a hospital for women. While in exile, Sabine became an insatiable student. She learned Spanish, English, French, Italian, Flemish, Greek, and Latin, in addition to her own native German tongue and dabbled in the sciences, most notably astronomy. Despite her staunch Catholic roots in Bavaria, Sabine is also said to have opened the interest of Henry VIII to the New Religion of Protestantism, arriving with her husband in the Tudor court about 1529. Her time in England served her well. She was one of the rare women in the Germanies to learn music, dance and enjoy the pasttimes of archery and jousting. The Archduchess was an avid hunting companion of Henry’s second queen consort, Anne Boleyn, as well as a bit of a gambler at cards, having once lost and then regained her wedding band from one of Henry's nobles.
Sabine is believed to have been instrumental in getting the Duke of Cleves his initial audience with the English king on the matter of the marriage of his sister Anna. The Archduchess and the English king remained friends until his death in 1547.
Her Serene Highness died at the age of 72 in her son’s home in Wuerttemberg. She was survived by her son’s family, including her only granddaughter, Eleonore of Wuerttemberg who would go on to marry Joachim Ernst, Prince of Anhalt.
