Louvain, Belgium owned by a relative named Aubert. Aubert and

religious life; Margaret planned to become a Cistercian nun. On
their last night in the inn, thieves broke in and killed the
erstwhile owners while Margaret was out. She came home as the
killers were leaving, and she was murdered, too. Devotion
developed after miracles occurred near her original gravesite

river Deel by her killers - recovered, she was initially buried
along the river bank - later transferred to Saint Peter’s
Church, Louvain, Belgium - many miracles reported at her tomb
