Biography
Born in 1254, Margaret was a daughter of Louis IX of France and his wife Margaret of Provence.[1] Margaret was originally in 1257 betrothed to Henry IV, Duke of Brabant, son of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and Alice of Burgundy.[2] Henry was deposed in 1267. Henry's brother, John I, Duke of Brabant married Margaret on 5 September 1270.[1]
Margaret became pregnant in 1270/1271, giving birth to a son in 1271. Neither survived, with both dying shortly after the birth.
