Margaret of Nuremberg

Margaret of Nuremberg (born c. 1316, died after 1382) was a daughter of Burgrave Frederick IV of Nuremberg and Margaret of Görz-Tyrol, and through marriage the progenitrix of the Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein line. In 1332 she married Count Adolf I of Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein, with whom she resided chiefly at Idstein.

In their joint testament of 1360 the couple endowed Klarenthal Abbey near Wiesbaden, Margaret leaving her gowns and mantle; Adolf died in 1370 and was buried there. Her own will, dated 13 November 1382, is the last record of her, and she was later buried at Klarenthal.

Of her many children, Gerlach II and Walram IV ruled Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein, while Adolf and John II became archbishop-electors of Mainz. Two daughters served as abbesses of Klarenthal.
