Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria


Margaret of Burgundy was Duchess of Bavaria as the wife of Duke William II.

Margaret was the third child and first daughter out of nine children born to Philip II, Duke of Burgundy, and Margaret III, Countess of Flanders. Margarets father used the marriages of his children to achieve farsighted goals. In keeping with this strategy, Margaret and her brother John were wedded in a double marriage to William of Bavaria and his sister Margaret. This marriage, celebrated onApril 1385 in Cambrai, would have later influence the union of Hainaut and Holland with Burgundy and Flanders, as carried out by Margarets nephew Philip the Good.
