About Margaret Of Brabant Countess Of Flanders
- Margaret of Brabant (9 February 1323 – 1380) was a countess consort of Flanders.
- She was the second daughter of Duke John III of Brabant and Mary of Évreux.
- She was the only child of Duke John to have children.
- In 1347 she married Louis II of Flanders, who was then sixteen years old and already count of Flanders.
