As the mother of Emperor Frederick III she became the ancestor of all later Habsburgs, as only his line of the family survived in male line. She brought the famous Habsburg lip into the family, a particular physical characteristic of most members of the family for many generations until the 18th century. It can even be recognized in some of her distant descendants today (though not as markedly), e.g. in King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
