About me / Bio:
Margaret of Provence was the eldest of four daughters of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence and Beatrice of Savoy. She married Louis IX of France in 1234 when she was only 13 years old. She was crowned queen of France the next day and accompanied her husband on two crusades to the Holy Land. She was a devout and charitable woman who founded several hospitals and convents. She also acted as regent of France during her husband's absence and after his death in 1270. She had 11 children with Louis IX, six of whom survived to adulthood. She died in Paris in 1295 at the age of 74 and was buried in Saint Denis Basilica. She was beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1856 and is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church.
