'''Margareta of Opole''' ({{langx|pl|Małgorzata}}; {{circa| 1412/14}} &ndash; 15 January 1454), was a [[Polish people|Polish]] princess. She was a member of the [[Opole]] branch of [[House of Piast]] and by marriage a Duchess of [[Oława]]-[[Lubin]]-[[Chojnów]].<br />
<br />
She was the daughter of Duke [[Bolko IV of Opole]], by his wife Margareta, possibly a member of the [[County of Görz|House of Görz]].<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
Around 1423, Margareta (aged eleven) married her kinsman, Duke [[Louis III of Oława]]. They had two sons: [[John I of Lüben|John I]] and [[Henry X of Chojnów|Henry X]]. On 18 January 1441 Louis III died, leaving the Duchies of [[Lubin]] and [[Chojnów]] to his sons as co-rulers and the Duchy of [[Oława]] to his widow as her [[dower]].<br />
<br />
Henry X died in 1452 and was succeeded by his brother and co-ruler John I in Chojnów (Lubin was already pledged to the Dukes of Głogów in 1446); however, John I died one year later (1453), leaving from his marriage with Hedwig of Brzeg a son, [[Frederick I of Legnica|Frederick I]], now the only male representative of the Brzeg-Legnica branch.<br />
<br />
Margareta survived her son John I by only two months. Oława was inherited by her grandson Frederick I, who eventually reunited all the family lands in 1488.<br />
