Marguerite de Bourgogne was a sister of:

• Duke Hugh V of Burgundy (c. 1294-1315)
• Duke Eudes IV of Burgundy (c. 1295-1349)
• Joan the Lame, Queen consort of Philip VI of France.

In 1361, Marguerite's rights of ainesse became important in the premature death of Duke Philip I of Burgundy (her grandnephew), since the closest Burgundian heirs were descendants of Marguerite and of her sister, Joan the Lame. Marguerite's grandson and heir Charles II of Navarre claimed the duchy on the basis of primogeniture, but Joan the Lame's son John II of France on the basis of proximity, being one generation closer to the Burgundian dukes. The case was ruled in favour of John, who became Duke of Burgundy, later bestowing the Duchy upon his son, Philip the Bold.
