 | | Margaret Maultasch[moul´tAsh] Pronunciation Key [Ger.,=pocket mouth], 131869, countess of Tyrol, called the Ugly Duchess, probably because of her unattractive appearance, especially her mouth. |
 | | When Margaret's father, Henry, count of Tyrol and duke of Carinthia, died in 1335, Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV gave Carinthia to the Hapsburgs and tried to take Tyrol from Margaret and her husband, John Henry, son of John of Luxemburg, king of Bohemia. |
 | | Margaret expelled her husband from her country; her marriage was voided by Louis IV, and in 1342 she married his son Louis, margrave of Brandenburg. |
