Margaret, a sanguine, energetic woman, despised her baby husband, and he, very naturally, impotently hated her.

She at length fled from him, and escaping from Bohemia, threw herself under the protection of Louis.

The emperor joyfully welcomed her to his court, and promised to grant her a divorce, by virtue of his imperial power, if she would marry his son Louis.

The compliant princess readily acceded to this plan, and the divorce was announced and the nuptials solemnized in February, 1342.
The King of Bohemia was as much exasperated as the King of Bavaria was elated by this event, for the one felt that he had lost the Tyrol, and the other that he had gained it.

It was this successful intrigue which cost Louis of Bavaria his imperial crown; for the blood of the King of Bohemia was roused.
