Biography
Maria van Eicken (1571 in Brussels – 21 April 1636 in Porta Angelica Monastery, Flaumbach Valley, near Treis-Karden) was the wife of the Margrave Edward Fortunatus of Baden-Baden.
Life
She was born in Brussels as the daughter of Joost Van der Eycken, governor of the city of Breda, and Barbara de Mol.
On 13 March 1591 in Brussels, she married Margrave Edward Fortunatus of Baden-Baden. As she was not a member of the high nobility, she was not considered a befitting wife for a margrave and their children were never accepted as relatives by his cousin Margrave Ernest Frederick of Baden-Durlach. Nevertheless, their son William would inherit Baden-Baden.
Marie and Edward Fortunatus had the following children:
- William (1593–1677)
- Hermann Fortunatus (1595–1665)
- Charles Albert (born: 1598 in Kastellaun; died: 1626 at Hundschloss Castle, when he accidentally shot himself)
- Anna Marie Lucretia (born: 1592 Murano; died: 1654 in Kastellaun)
