Is said that Elisabetha died from an illness but my biggest questioning is: "What was the illness?"
Acording to search from internet that I found the most common diseases in Middle Ages were dysentery, malaria, diphtheria, flu, typhoid, smallpox and leprosy. And we all know that the hygiene was limited in that time period.
Whatever was the case, the average life expectancy at birth was around 30 years in that time period, rare case if they where people live over the 40's (since Rinaldo himself in his late 40's).
