Archduchess Margarete Sophie of Austria (Margarete Sophie Marie Annunciata Theresia Caroline Luise Josephe Johanna; 13 May 1870 - 24 August 1902).
Margarete Sophie was born at Artstetten Castle, Artstetten-Pöbring, the fourth and youngest child and only daughter of Archduke Karl Ludwig of Austria and his second wife Princess Maria Annunciata of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. She was named for her father's first wife, Princess Margaretha of Saxony, and for her paternal grandmother, Princess Sophie of Bavaria. Her older brother was Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
As a young woman, Margarete Sophie was Princess-Abbess of the Theresian Royal and Imperial Ladies Chapter in Prague (1886-1893). It was not unusual for the Abbess to be chosen from among the archduchesses of the Imperial Habsburg family, though the Abbess was allowed to leave the order and marry. Margarete Sophie's younger half-sister, Maria Annunciata, became Princess-Abbess after her.
Margarete Sophie married Duke Albrecht of Württemberg on 24 January 1893 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary. Margarete Sophie and Albrecht had seven children: Philipp Albrecht (1893-1975),
Albrecht Eugen (1895 - 1954), Carl Alexander (1896 - 1964)
Maria Amalia (1897 - 1923), Maria Theresa (1898 - 1928), Maria Elisabeth (1899 in Potsdam - 1900) and Margarita Maria (1902 - 1945).
Margarete died in Gmunden on 24 August 1902, aged 32.
