Margaret married John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset, son of John of Gaunt and his mistress Katherine Swynford. They had six children:[2]

In 1399, she was invested as a Lady Companion, Order of the Garter (L.G.).[3] After Beaufort died in 1410 (in the Tower of London), she married his nephew Thomas of Lancaster, Duke of Clarence (1387–1421), the son of King Henry IV. They had no children.[3] She died on 30 December 1439 at St. Saviour's Abbey, Bermondsey, in London, England.[3] Margaret and both her husbands are buried together in a carved alabaster tomb in Canterbury Cathedral that shows her lying between the two of them.
