Their story
Margaret of Bavaria, born in The Hague in 1363, was a prominent member of the House of Wittelsbach. As Duchess consort of Burgundy, she held significant influence in 14th and 15th-century European politics. Her marriage to John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, solidified important alliances and contributed to the complex web of dynastic relationships that characterized the era. Margaret was known for her intelligence and strong will, often acting as a regent during her husband's absences. She skillfully navigated the political landscape, safeguarding her family's interests and territories. Margaret passed away in Dijon in 1423, leaving behind a legacy of astute leadership and unwavering dedication to her ducal house.
