She was the last Countess of Flanders of the House of Dampierre. She was also Duchess of Burgundy by marriage to Philip I, Duke of Burgundy and Philip II, Duke of Burgundy.
When Margaret III Comtesse de Flandres was born on 13 April 1350, in Sint Kruis, Zeeland, Netherlands, her father, Louis II de Flandre, was 19 and her mother, Margaretha van Brabant, was 27. She married Philippe II de Burgundy the Bold on 19 June 1369, in Pontoise, Seine-et-Oise, France. They were the parents of at least 6 sons and 4 daughters.
Philip died in 1404, and Margaret died the following year. With her death, the House of Dampierre came to an end, and the County of Flanders lost its (relative) independence to Burgundy. It came under the rule of her son, John the Fearless, and later to the House of Habsburg.
