Elisabetha Cronqvist is the beloved wife of Mathias. Her death caused him to declare war against God and become the vampire who would eventually become known as Dracula.

This effectively makes Elisabetha the initiator of the entire Castlevania saga.

TriviaEdit

• Her name is similar to "Elizibeta" which is the name of Dracula's dead lover from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Both of these women died causing Dracula to forsake God and become a vampire. It should also be noted that "Elisabeth" contains the name Lisa, who was also coined as Dracula's wife and the mother of Alucard.

• The introduction of Elisabetha creates a continuity problem in the Castlevania series. Symphony of the Night had established in its manual that Lisa (Alucard's mother) was "the only woman Dracula ever loved". The manual made it clear that Dracula is 800 in 1797, while Alucard is 400. This means Alucard was born around 1400, and it is generally assumed that it was Lisa's death which caused Dracula to begin his war on humanity (this ties in with Dracula's first battle against the Belmonts taking place in 1476 against Trevor). However, Lament of Innocence reveals that Dracula initially turned his back on God in 1094, after Elisabetha died, and there is no sign of Alucard in Lament of Innocence. It would appear that Mathias Cronqvist was married to Elisabetha in the late 11th century, then became Dracula and later fell in love with Lisa; technically making Lisa the only woman "Dracula" ever loved. However, this might also be linked to the speculation that Lisa is the reincarnation of Elisabetha. Being the same woman, it would make sense that Lisa would be the only woman Dracula ever love.
