Margaret of Hanau

15th-century German noble

15th-century German noble

Margaret of Hanau (1452 – 14 March 1467) was the only daughter of Count Reinhard III of Hanau (1412–1452) and his wife Countess Palatine Margaret of Mosbach (1432–1457).

Engagement

On 14 August 1459, at the age of seven, Margaret was engaged to Philip of Eppstein-Königstein. She received a dowry of , a considerable sum in those days. An explanation for this large sum may be that she was her parents' only daughter and, since both of her parents had already died, would not have to pay another dowry. The sum was reduced by 650 guilders, which the Eppstein family were supposed to earn as interest, and was to be paid from the revenues of the city of Butzbach.

However, Margaret died in 1467 and the marriage never happened.
