Beatrix of Luxembourg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beatrix of Luxembourg (* 1305 ; † November 11, 1319 ) was Queen of Hungary, Croatia and Dalmatia.

She was born as the daughter of the future Roman-German Emperor Henry VII and his wife Margaret of Brabant .

On June 24, 1318 she was married to Charles I Robert , King of Hungary, Croatia and Dalmatia, after his first wife Maria von Bytom had died three years earlier. With this marriage, the Luxembourg dynasty was to be linked to one of its most important eastern neighbors.

The second marriage of Charles I Robert, however, remained without a male heir to the throne. On October 11, 1319 Beatrix gave birth to a daughter who lived only a few hours and died a month later as a result of the childbirth. She was only 14 years old. She was buried in Nagyvárad Cathedral.

A year after her death, her husband married Elisabeth of Poland .
