	Margaret of York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Margaret of York (May 3, 1446 – November 23, 1503) - also by marriage known as Margaret of Burgundy- was a daughter to Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville, a sister of Kings Edward IV of England and Richard III of England, third wife to Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy.
		During the wedding, Margaret wore a magnificent crown adorned with pearls and with enamelled white roses for the House of York set between red, green and white enamelled letters of her name, with gold C's and M's, entwined with lovers' knots; it can still be seen in the treasury at Aachen Cathedral.
		Margaret and Charles had no children together, but she became a devoted stepmother to Marie de Bourgogne (1457-1482), his daughter by Isabelle de Bourbon, and the heiress to his dominions in Burgundy and the Netherlands.

		In addition to his sons Arthur and Henry, Henry VII had several daughters, one of whom, Margaret, married James IV, king of Scotland, and another, Mary, became the wife of Louis XII of France, and afterwards of Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk.
