Biography.
Judith was born in the Swabian town of Rheinfelden, where her father still resided as a count ("Graf") before he was elected King
. Judith urged Wenceslaus bring Zavis to trial and he was eventually arrested and executed at Hluboká Castle in 1290, five years after the death of Kunigunda.
Upon her father's death in 1291, Judith further tried to reconcile her husband with Rudolf's son and heir Albert of Habsburg, her elder brother, who struggled for his succession with Count Adolf of Nassau. She also brought German influences to the Prague court, like the introduction of knights, and made Prague a cultural centre of the Holy Roman Empire.
