In 1544 she married Lamoral, Count of Egmont with whom she had twelve children. When her husband was arrested and accused of treason in 1567, she wrote a letter to King Philip II, the King of Spain, to plead for his release. Her letter did not change her husband's fate and he was decapitated in the following year.
