matrimonial projects, for numerous wooers strove for the rich heiress’ hand. Bohemian, Luxemburg, Bavarian, and Habsburg princes endeavoured to acquire with her the richest heritage in Europe, con sisting not only of the Countship of Tyrol and Dukedom of Carinthia, Goricia and Croatia, but numberless fiefs and minor allodial properties. But project after pro ject came to grief. At last a match was arranged by her father, and young Prince John of Bohemia, then nine years of age, was wedded 1330 a.d

. to Margaret of Tyrol, who was his senior by three, or according to some by five years.* Discord of the worst kind broke out between the couple when the marriage came to be really consummated, for John when he grew to man’s estate seems to have been of weak mind and of freebie body, and in no respect a satisfactory mate for his lovelorn spouse. Intrigues of all sorts were now the order of the day; political plots with the Emperor of Germany’s party, who was opposed to the Luxemburg faction, to which the

Bohemian Prince belonged, and amorous cabals with courtiers and even with stalwart peasant youths, particularly with the handsome young men from the neighbouring Passeyr valley/j* These political plots were first unsuccessful, • Historians do not agree on this detail; some make tlie difference greater, t A legend has it that John, jealous of one of his wife's peasant lovers, killed him while out shooting.

of her own castles. But the second attempt to rid herself of her spouse was more successful. Returning one fine day (Nov. 2,1341) from the chase in the mountains, while his brother was out of the country, John found not only the gates of Castle Tyrol barred against him, but his Bohemian courtiers ignominiously chased out of it, while a message conveyed to him in blunt words the advice to return as speedily as he could to his native land. This advice he quickly followed. Of the scores ,of castles

where the unfortunate John endeavoured to find shelter, only a single one, that of the Knight of Villanders, opened its gates, and that only for the short span of three days, which the laws of hospitality of the time recognised as the right of every traveller to claim. From that stronghold John fed to Aquileia, whose Patriarch gave him houseroom for five months, during which the fugitive vainly awaited help from his powerful father s party. But Margaret had not gone to extremes without having

Still, his cause was by no means desperate, for his Tirolese subjects and his Black Forest folk remained staunch and were eager to come to his aid; Pope John sent large supplies of money, and the Dukes of Burgundy and Lorraine prepared to march to his assistance.
