Biography
Maria was the eldest daughter and second child of the French prince Louis d'Evreux , Count of Evreux , Etampes and de Beaumont-le-Roger, and his wife Margarita d'Artois . Her brother was Philippe d'Evreux , who later became king of Navarre , thanks to a marriage with the daughter of Louis the Grumpy Jeanne of France . Mary had another brother, Charles , and sisters Margarita and Jeanne , who in 1325 became Queen of France .
The developing relations of France with Brabant needed to be fixed by ties of kinship. The marriage of the heir to the throne of Brabant on one of the French princesses would contribute to this as well as possible. As a result, in July 1311 [1] the eleven-year-old son of the reigning duke Jean was married to the niece of the King of France, Philip IV the Beautiful, eight-year-old Maria d'Evreux. A year later, after the death of his father , Jean became the full ruler of the Duchy of Brabant .
Under pressure from the cities, on July 14, 1314, Jean III signed the Walloon Charter , which granted cities political and financial independence. This gave the Duke the opportunity to obtain the taxes he needed, which were spent in the future, mainly on wars. [2]
The couple had their first child in 1322 . The girl was called Jeanne . Subsequently, five more children appeared in the family: daughters Margarita and Maria and sons Jean, Henry, Gottfried.
Jeanne in 1334 was married to Count Hainaut and Holland, William II d'Aven .
Mary died in 1335 at the age of thirty-two. All her sons died during the life of Jean III . Ownership and title were inherited by their eldest daughter Jeanne . Then the throne passed to the grand-nephew of Jeanne Antoine , the first representative of the Burgundian dynasty on the Brabant throne, who ruled for more than a hundred years before the duchy became part of the Spanish Netherlands .
