Beatrice II, Countess of Burgundy
Beatrice II (1193–1231) ruled as countess palatine of Burgundy from 1205 until her death. The younger daughter of Count Otto I of Burgundy and Margaret of Blois, she succeeded her sister Joan I as a child, after her uncle Philip of Swabia had secured the county for her.
In 1208 she married Duke Otto I of Merania, who ruled Burgundy at her side. Her son Otto III inherited the county when she died on 7 May 1231, and her daughter Adelaide later held it too.
