Origin
Margarita was the fourth child and second daughter of the French prince Louis d'Evreux . Her paternal grandfather was the king of France, Philip III the Bold , grandmother - Maria Brabant . Margarita d'Evreux's mother was Margarita d'Artois , daughter of the lord Conch Philippe d'Artois and Blanca de Dreux .
Marriage and children
In August 1325, eighteen years old, Margarita married Guillaume of Auvergne , the eldest son of Robert VII the Great , Count of Auvergne and Boulogne . The celebration of the wedding took place at the Chateau Bousseol in Auvergne [2] . The month before, in July 1325, the wedding of her younger sister Joan of d'Evreux and King Charles IV of France took place.
In October 1325, Robert VII passed away and his possessions passed to Guillaume .
Guillaume XII participated in military operations against the British, serving in the service of King Charles IV the Beautiful , who at that time sought to return Guyenne to France [3] . Guillaume was no stranger to good deeds: for example, he ordered one hundred bushels of grain to be distributed to the poor inhabitants of Amber in Livradois [4] .
Margarita and Guillaume had two children:
- Robert, died young;
- Joan (May 8, 1326 - September 20, 1360), married to Philippe Monsignor , from whom she had three children; from February 1350 [5] - after the French prince John , who in the same year became king, from whom she also had three children (they all died at an early age).
Guillaume XII died on August 6, 1332. The Countess of Auvergne and Boulogne became his daughter Jeanne . Margarita did not remarry.
On September 26, 1338, the marriage of twelve-year-old Jeanne, Countess of Auvergne and Boulogne , and Philip of Burgundy, which was to inherit from the parents the duchy of Burgundy , the counties of Artois and Franche-Comté, took place . A few years later, the couple had three children who died at a young age. Philip of Burgundy died in a fall from a horse in 1346. Jeanne, three and a half years later, married Prince John . Margarita, most likely, took part in the wedding celebrations.
She died in Paris [1] in 1350. She was buried in the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Boulogne-sur-Mer [6] in the county of Boulogne [7] .
