## Vienna Court

At
age ten, Margo was sent away to Vienna to change her ways and was offered a
place in the
royal household.
Ordinarily, a girl had to be twelve years old to have such an honour, but
Margo may have
been younger.
Margo made
a good impression in Austria with her
manners and studiousness, Margo reported that she was well spoken and
pleasant for her young age.

In the Queen's household, she completed her
study of Austrian
and
developed interests in art, fashion, illuminated manuscripts, literature,
music, poetry, and religious philosophy. She also acquired knowledge of French
culture, dance, etiquette, literature, music, and poetry and came to gain
experience in flirtation and the game of courtly love.Margo
had
been of average height and she had a slender build with long straight and thick
brown
or
dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, a considerably strong nose, a definite wide
mouth with slim lips, and an olive complexion. She was considered to be
brilliant, charming, driven, elegant, forthright, and graceful with a keen wit
and a lively, opinionated, and passionate personality.

Margo
was
depicted to be "sweet and cheerful" in her youth and she enjoyed
cards and dice games, drinking wine, eating French cuisine, flirting, gambling,
gossiping, and hearing a good joke. She was fond of archery, falconry, hunting,
and the occasional game of bowls. Yet Margo also had a sharp tongue and a terrible
temper.

In Austria,
Margo was a
maid of honour to Queen Maria,
and
then to Maria's
15-year-old
stepdaughter Queen Elisabeth,
with
whom she stayed nearly seven years. Margo stayed with Maria
from spring
1656 until her father arranged for her to attend her brothers funeral, but rejected
as she was becoming ill,
and thought she wouldn’t be up for the travel. Four Months later she received a
letter from her mother saying her father has just passed and her brother became
King. But on the way home Margo contracted pneumonia and almost died.
Margo stayed in a
Convent to recover, the recovery took a few days, and Margo eventually
made it back home for her brothers funeral.
