Margaret of Burgundy

Margaret of Burgundy (1250–1308), second daughter of Odo, Count of Nevers, and Maud of Dampierre, inherited Tonnerre in 1262. In 1268 she married Charles of Anjou, king of Sicily; she became queen of Albania in 1272 and titular queen of Jerusalem in 1277.

The Sicilian Vespers of 1282 left her queen only of Naples. Widowed in 1285, she withdrew to her castle of Tonnerre with two noble companions, where they lived in prayer and charity, and she founded the Hospice of the Fontenilles.

She died on 4 September 1308 and was buried in the hospice. Her lands passed to her great-nephew John II of Chalon-Auxerre.
