Elizabeth of Bar also known as Elisabeth (Isabel) de Bar-Pierrepont, was born at Hagestein, Zeeland, Netherlands. She was the youngest daughter of Theobald de Bar, Seigneur de Pierrepont and his wife Marie de Namur.[1] 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.

She married Otto, Lord of Arkel, son of John IV, Lord of Arkel and Irmengard of Cleves, somewhere before 18 October 1360.[2] They had one son, John V, Lord of Arkel, born on September 11, 1362, in Gorinchem.

Elisabeth died before 11 May 1411 at Pierrepont, France.
