Not to be confused with Saint Margaret of Hungary.
Margaret (Margit) (1175 – 1223), was the eldest daughter of King Bela III of Hungary and his second wife Agnes of Antioch. Her maternal grandparents were Raynald of Chatillon and Constance of Antioch. In 1185, Margaret married the Eastern Roman Emperor Isaac II Angelos. They had two sons:
- John (Iōannēs) Angelos.
- Manuel Angelos.
Her husband died in February, 1204. Later that year the widowed Margaret married Boniface of Montferrat, who was soon to become king of Thessalonica. To Boniface she bore a son Demetrius in 1207. In the same year, on his father's death, Demetrius became king of Thessalonica.
