Euphemia wed Christopher in 1300. The marriage was likely a politically arranged marriage to provide Christopher with political support from the dynasty of her mother as well as that of her father. Not much is known about queen Euphemia.

Euphemia had at least six known children:

  • Margarete (1305–1340), married Louis V, Duke of Bavaria
  • Erik (1307–1331)
  • Otto, Duke of Lolland and Estonia (born c. 1310 – died after 1347)
  • Agnes (d. 1312), died young
  • Heilwig (born c. 1315)
  • Valdemar, King of Denmark (1320–1375)
  • She is buried in the Sorø Abbey.
