  Birth Notes:

The date of her birth is difficult to ascertain because there is controversy over the exact number of children borne by her mother. Some sources say that she was the first or second child, born by the end of 1237; others say that she was the last child, born in December 1241, when Isabella died in childbirth. Historians commonly accept the latter date.

Margaret married Albert II the Degenerate Margrave of Meissen [57101] [MRIN: 13012], son of Henry III the Illustrious Margrave of Meissen [64463] and Constance of Babenberg [57132], in Jun 1255. (Albert II the Degenerate Margrave of Meissen [57101] was born in 1240 and died on 20 Nov 1314.)

  Marriage Notes:

Shortly after her birth (1242), Margaret was betrothed to Albert "the Degenerate", eldest son and heir of Henry III "the Illustrious", Margrave of Meissen. The marriage took place in June 1255, the bride receiving Pleissnerland (the towns of Altenburg, Zwickau, Chemnitz and Leisnig) as her dowry.
