  Biography
  Agnes Maria was the daughter of Berthold, Duke of Merania and Agnes of Rochlitz.
  
  In June 1196, Agnes married Philip II of France, who had repudiated his second wife Ingeborg of Denmark in 1193. Pope Innocent III espoused the cause of Ingeborg; but Philip did not submit until 1200, when, nine months after interdict had been added to excommunication, he consented to a separation from Agnes.
  
  Agnes died giving birth to their third child in July of the next year, at the castle of Poissy, and was buried in the Convent of St Corentin, near Nantes.
  
  Family
  Agnes and Philip had two children: 
  Mary, b. 1198
  Philip I, Count of Boulogne, b 1200
   
  Both were legitimized by the Pope in 1201.
