    She was an heiress of a branch of the Aldobrandeschi family, with a feudal contado, nominally subject to Orvieto, that stretched from the shores of the Tyrrhenian sea to the borders of Acquapendente.

    The Aldobrandeschi were an Italian noble family from southern Tuscany. In 1274, their lands were divided between the County of Santa Fiora and the County of Sovana, which thenceforth were ruled by different branches of the family. After the extinction of the Aldobrandeschi of Sovana, the county was assigned to the Orsini.

    Upon death of Guy de Montford, his daughter, Anastasia, became the Countess of Nola in her owen right. In an effort to retain her lands, Margherita married four more times after Guy's death. Her four additional husbands were: Orsello Orsini, Loffredo Caetani, her cousin Guido Aldobrandeschi di Santa Fiora, and Nello de' Pannocchieschi.

    Among her direct descendants (via her elder daughter, Anastasia): late 15th century Kings of Naples, England's Queen-Consort Elizabeth Woodville, 16th century rulers of Poland, Dukes of Ferrera, and Dukes of Guise.

    Margherita married Guy de Montfort. Guy (son of Simon V de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester and Eleanor of England) was born 1244, England; died 1291, Sicily. [Group Sheet]
