Margaret was supposed to become the third wife of Philip II of France.[2] However, when her father was escorting her to France in May 1195, Thomas I of Savoy carried her off.[3] Attracted by her beauty, Count Thomas then married her himself,[4] claiming that Philip II was already married (the French King had married Ingeborg of Denmark in 1193 but had repudiated her soon thereafter). Margaret's father fell sick and died after the wedding, and her mother died the following year.
