Margaret of Burgundy (1290-1315)

Margaret of Burgundy, 1290-1315 was a princess of the Ducal family of Burgundy of Capetians.

She was eldest daughter of duke Robert II of Burgundy (1248-1306) and Agnes of France (1260-1325), herself the youngest daughter of King Saint Louis of France.

1305 she married her cousin once removed, Louis of France, King of Navarre, who 1314 ascended also the French throne as Louis X of France.

She was allegedly caught in adultery, and factually imprisoned for the rest of her life. She was allegedly strangled in 1315, after 2 years of imprisonment, in order to allow her husband remarry.

She gave birth to one daughter, Jeanne, who later became queen Joan II of Navarre (1311-1349). Her paternity was nder doubts of bastardy. However, she of course was scion of Marguerite, and thus a full potential heir to Burgundy, as well as carrier of the blood of St Louis.

Charles lost the bid to Duchy of Burgundy.
