In 1397 Euphemia married with the widower Count [[Frederick III of Oettingen|Frederick III]] of [[Oettingen]]. They had nine children, five sons and four daughters<ref>[http://genealogy.euweb.cz/oett/oett1.html#F3 Complete Genealogy of the House of Oettingen]</ref><ref>[http://www8.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/cgi-bin/stoyan/l1/LANG=span/INDEX=I109053 Chronological Dates in Stoyan]</ref>. Perhaps under her influence, was made a German translation of the ''"Life of St. [[Hedwig of Andechs]]"'' with rich colors and illustrations, who remained in the Comital Library of Oettingen. After the death of her husband ([[23 January]] [[1423]]), Euphemia returned to [[Ziębice]].

Shortly after, Euphemia borrowed to the [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Sigismund]] the sum of 4,000 [[guilder]]s and buy with another 100 guilders the claims of Puta III's mother (Anna of Oświęcim) and eldest daughters (Anna and Katharina of Častolovic). On [[11 November]] [[1435]], Euphemia was formally invested as Duchess of Ziębice.
Nicholas, Abbot of [[Henryków]], strongly opposed to Euphemia's rule; was suspected that he was [[Hussite]]. In order to revenge, the Duchess ordened to Sigismund of Rachenau, [[castellan]] of [[Chałupki]] plundered and burned the monastery of Henryków in 1438.
The continue disputes with Puta III's widow Anna of Kolditz and her second husband Henry Cruschina of Lichtenburg developed during all Euphemia's reign. Finally, was made a settlement in 1443: Ziębice was given to Duke [[William of Opawa]], Euphemia's nephew (son of her late younger sister Katharina) and son-in-law of Puta III (husband of his younger daughter Salome).
After lost definitely the government of the Duchy, Euphemia returned to Germany. She died four years later.
