Margaret of Henneberg (1234 – 26 March 1276) was a daughter of Count Floris IV of Holland and his wife, Matilda of Brabant. == Life == Margaret married on Pentecost of 1249 to Count Herman I of Henneberg-Coburg. This marriage had political background, because Hermann had hoped to be elected King of the Germans earlier in 1246, but had lost to Margaret's brother William II. In an attempt to strengthen his influence in Germany, William had arranged a marriage between his sister and a German count. Margaret of Henneberg and her husband lived in Coburg, although the couple also owned a residence in Loosduinen, where they frequently stayed. Their eldest son, Herman, was born in 1250 and died young. He was buried in the church of Loosduinen. Margaret and Herman had two children who reached adulthood: * Jutta, married Margrave Otto V of Brandenburg-Salzwedel in 1268 * Poppo, died in 1291 In the spring of 1276, Margaret fell seriously ill in Loosduinen. Before her death she was able to dictate some letters about her inheritance to her nephew Floris V of Holland. She died on Good Friday of 1276 and, like her first son, she was buried in the church of the abbey of Loosduinen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Margaret of Holland, Countess of Henneberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
