Margaret of Brabant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Margaret of Brabant (4 October 1276–14 December 1311, Genoa), was the daughter of John I, Duke of Brabant and Margaret of Flanders. She was the wife of Count Henry of Luxemburg and after his coronation 1308, Queen of Germany.
She was married to Henry in 1292 in the context of a peace agreement (due to the enmity, which resulted after the battle of Worringen) between the two houses. She bore in the marriage, which ran according to all reports lucky, a son, Johann of Luxembourg (1296-1346), and two daughters, Maria (1304-24) and Beatrix (1305-19). Margaret accompanied her husband on his Italy campaign, became ill during the siege of Brescia and died a few months later in Genoa, where she was buried. The famous sculptor Giovanni Pisano was commissioned by the Emperor for a monument to her memory in 1313.
