Archduchess Margaret as finance of King Charles VIII. of France, 15th century, Margarete von Österreich als Braut des französischen Thronfolgers This painting is believed to be the right part of a dyptic with her brother Philip The Fair of Austria (The Philadelphia Museum of Art) . In 1483, she was betrothed to the Dauphin of France, later King Charles VIII of France, bringing with her a dowry of Franche-Comté and Artois, and was transferred to the guardianship of King Louis XI of France (see Treaty of Arras (1482)). After Charles renounced the treaty and married Anne of Brittany, Margaret was returned to her father in 1493. In 1497, she was married to Juan, Prince of Asturias, Infante of Spain (1478–1497), the son and heir of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, but he died after only six months. Juan left her pregnant, but she later gave birth to a stillborn child. In 1501, she married Philibert II, Duke of Savoy (1480–1504), who died three years later. This marriage had been childless as well. She was appointed for the first time as governor of the Habsburg Netherlands (1507–1515) and guardian of her young nephew Charles (the future Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor).
