Elizabeth of Bar also known as Elisabeth (Isabel) de Bar-Pierrepont, was born at Hagestein, Netherlands. She was the youngest daughter of Theobald de Bar, Seigneur de Pierrepont and his wife Marie de Namur.(FR)Michelle Bubenicek, Quand les femmes gouvernent: droit et politique au XIVe siècle, (Ecole de Chartes, 2002), 86. When her father, Theobald, died between 2 August 1353 and 6 July 1354, and because he had no legitimate male heir, she became the heiress of Bar-Pierrepont.

They had one son, John V, Lord of Arkel, born on September 11, 1362, in Gorinchem.
