Eleanor of Scotland (1433–1480), also known as Eleonore von Östereich or Eleanor of Austria, was a Scottish princess and daughter of King James I of Scotland. In 1448, she married Austrian Duke Sigismund of Tyrol, a member of the Habsburg dynasty. He was elevated to Archduke in 1477, making Eleanor an Archduchess. Eleanor served as regent in her husband’s stead twice during their marriage, from 1455 to 1458 and 1467. She was literate in French, German, Latin, and Scots. Humanist Heinrich Steinhöwel dedicated his 1473 translation of Boccaccio’s De claris mulieribus to her. Her contribution to literature is her translation of Pontus und Sidonia (c. 1449–1465) from French to German, her translation of the anonymous French poem Ponthus et la belle Sidoyne, which itself was based on the Anglo-Norman poem King Horn (c. 1180). She is credited with introducing the German prose novel. Her translation was extremely popular, with many printed editions throughout the following centuries. Some scholars question the extent of her involvement in the translation or suggest her husband placed her name on the printed manuscript after her death.
