Marguerite Capet, de France

FMG: France, Capetian Kings.

2. MARGUERITE de France ([1290/91]–after Nov 1294).
Père Anselme names Marguerite as eldest daughter of King Philippe IV and says that she “fut promise par traité passé avant la fête de lña Toussaints 1294 à Ferdinand IV roy de Castille, mais cela n’eut aucun effet”[792].
If it is correct that Marguerite was her father’s oldest daughter, it is unclear why she was not betrothed to Infante don Fernando in [Apr] 1294, the date of his betrothal to her supposed younger sister Blanche (unless there was confusion about the year of Blanche’s betrothal and that Marguerite’s betrothal to Fernando preceded hers). One possibility is confusion in the order of birth of the king’s daughters.
Betrothed (end Oct 1294) to Infante don FERNANDO de Castilla, son of SANCHO IV "el Bravo" King of Castile and León & his wife doña María Alfonso de Molina “la Grande” (Seville 6 Dec 1285-Jaen 7 Sep 1312). He succeeded in 1295 as FERNANDO IV "el Ajurno" King of Castile and León.
