Life

Marie was the only child and therefore the sole heiress of Raymond V of Baux and his wife, Joan of Geneva.

On 11 April 1386, she married John III, the son of Louis I, Lord of Châlon-Arlay and Margaret of Vienne. They had one son: Louis II, nicknamed Louis the Good (1390-1463)

Mary died in 1417 in Orange and was buried in L'église des Cordeliers at Lons-le-Saunier.[1] Her husband died in 1418. Louis II inherited Châlon-Arlay from his father and Baux-Orange, including the Principality of Orange, from his mother. He claimed to have also inherited the County of Geneva via his grandmother, but lost a lengthy legal battle over this claim against the House of Savoy.

gollark: Waaaaait a minute. Is this also using potatOS superglobals in some insanely convoluted way?
gollark: I kind of have to wonder which one of the many known sandbox escapes this exploits.
gollark: Possibly running something else off HTTP.
gollark: I suspect it's `load`ing or possibly `loadfile`ing something.
gollark: The bit after your weird SHA256 obfuscation bit is quite small and seems to just call some global functions.
