Marriage edit
In 1544 she married Lamoral, Count of Egmont with whom she had twelve children. When her husband was arrested and accused of treason in 1567, she wrote a letter to King Philip II, the King of Spain, to plead for his release. Her letter did not change her husband's fate and he was decapitated in the following year.
Children edit
- Charles, 7th Count of Egmont, Prince de Gavre: married to Marie de Lens, Lady of Aubigny.
Widowhood edit
After her death in 1578, she was buried next to her husband in Egmont's crypt in Zottegem.
