Margaretha of Brabant

(9 Feb 1323 - 1368)

Margaretha was born 9 February 1323, the younger daughter of Jan III, duke of Brabant and Limburg, and Marie d'Evreux, the daughter of Louis, comte d'Evreux et d'Etampes, and Marguerite d'Artois, heiress of Brie-Comte-Robert. On 6 June 1347 in Paris, Margaretha was married to Louis III 'de Mâle', count of Flanders and Rethel, the son of Louis II, count of Flanders, and Marguerite de France, daughter of Philippe V 'Le Long', king of France, and Jeanne de Bourgogne.

Louis III 'de Mâle' has been recorded as having fathered ten illegitimate children, but Margaretha and Louis had only one surviving child, their daughter and heir Margarethe, who married first Philippe de Rouvre, duc de Bourgogne; after his early death she married Philippe 'the Bold', duc de Bourgogne.

Margaretha of Brabant died in 1368.
