Life
She was the youngest daughter of John de Foix, 1st Earl of Kendal and Margaret de la Pole. In 1492 she married to Louis II Margrave of Saluzzo. Marchioness Margaret accompanied her niece, queen Anna of Foix-Candale in 1502 from Saluzzo to Venice in the wedding tour from France to Hungary, when Queen Anne visited her paternal relatives in Saluzzo.[1] While being in her second pregnancy, Queen Anne asked her aunt, Margaret to come to Buda in 1506.[2] The Marchiones at that time after her husband's death, acted as a regent of Marquisate of Saluzzo in the name of her first-born son, Michele Antonio. She gave birth to four sons who all inherited the marquisate in the order of primogeniture.
