Margaret of England (c. 1340–1361) was a member of the English royal family, the daughter of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault. She was known for her beauty and was betrothed to John II of France as part of a political alliance, although the marriage never took place due to her untimely death. Margaret's life was marked by the turbulent times of the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Her short life and potential marriage highlight the strategic importance of royal marriages in medieval Europe, aimed at securing peace and alliances between rival nations.
