Yes. By the way, "Fuerst" is one of several different German words
which are translated into English as "Prince".

Schwennicke I:61:I shows two daughters of Magnus II as having the
given name Elisabeth, with this one being the second. You may be
right that none of her ancestors were names Elisabeth (I haven't
checked), but her mother's mother (Agnes v Sachsen-Wittenberg) had an
older sister Elisabeth who married the Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst.
