"Mechthild of the Palatinate (1418–1482) was a princess and major patroness of the literary arts in the 15th century.
Born to Ludwig III, Elector Palatine, she was married by the age of 15 to Ludwig I, Count of Württemberg-Urach. Five children came out of the marriage, but by age 31 she became a widow.:143 She was remarried two years later to the Archduke Albert VI of Austria. After he died in 1463, she retired to her court at Rottenburg am Neckar. This court became a center of flourishing literary culture up until her death." - (en.wikipedia.org 17.10.2020)
