On July 9, 1559, she married Duke Emanuel Philibert of Savoy († August 30, 1580 in Turin) in Paris , thereby gaining the title of Duchess of Berry and Peer of France . The marriage served to reaffirm the reconciliation of her brother Henry II with Emanuel Philibert and was part of the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis .
Due to Margaret's age, the marriage resulted in only one son:
- Duke Karl Emanuel I, the Great of Savoy (1562–1630) ∞ Katharina Michaela of Spain
