Beatrice of Luxembourg

Beatrix of Luxembourg (* 1305, † November 11, 1319 ) was Queen of Hungary, Croatia and Dalmatia.

She was born as the daughter of the later Holy Roman Emperor Henry VII and his wife Margaret of Brabant.

On June 24, 1318, she was with Charles I Robert, King of Hungary, Croatia and Dalmatia, married after his first wife Maria of Bytom had died three years earlier. With this marriage, the Luxembourg dynasty should be connected to one of the most important eastern neighbor.

Her second marriage of Charles I Robert, however, remained without a male heir. On October 11, 1319 Beatrix gave birth to a daughter, who lived only a few hours, and died a month later even from the effects of childbirth. She was only 14 years old. She was buried in the Cathedral of Varaždin.

A year after her death, her husband married to Elisabeth of Poland.
