Margaret of France (1158-1197) became queen of Hungary in 1186 as the wife of Béla III. Previously, she had been married to Henry the Young King (1155-1183), son of Henry II (1133- 1189) king of England. This study examines her role in the Plantagenet court, using 12thand 13th-century narrative sources. Their marriage in 1160 was arranged by Henry II, as this union was a strategic move to ease tensions between the Capetian and Plantagenet dynasties. Margaret’s dowry, which included strategically important territories, made her a pivotal figure in this rivalry. The marriage lasted for nearly twenty-three years, and during this time, Margaret was raised in the Plantagenet court and was crowned queen of England in 1172. After becoming widowed in 1183, she returned to France, however, disputes over her dowry persisted. Three years later she left for Hungary to marry Béla III, and her decade-long reign left a significant cultural legacy
