Daughter of Richard de Beauchamp and Elizabeth de Berkeley. Wife of General John Talbot, the first Earl of Shrewsbury, married September 6, 1425. Immediately after her marriage, she and two brother in laws, Duke of Somerset and the Baron Latimer, "vigorously maintained the claim to the Berkeley lands." She was the mother of five:
John Talbot, 1st Viscount Lisle
Sir Louis Talbot
Sir Humphrey Talbot
Lady Eleanor Talbot m Sir Thomas Butler and mistress to King Edward IV
Lady Elizabeth Talbot m John de Mowbray, 4th Duke of Norfolk
She was named Countess of Clermont because of the bravery of her husband during the wars with France.
Lord Berkeley trashed Margaret's manor at Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, so her son, John, stormed Berkeley Castle in 1452 and took Lord Berkeley prisoner. Margaret then arranged for Lord Berkeley's wife, Isabel Mowbray, imprisoned, where she died the same year. Lord Berkeley then married Margaret's stepdaughter, Joan Talbot, to make peace in 1457, which lasted only until William Berkeley took over for his father in 1463. Upon her deathbed in 1468, she left everything to her grandson, Thomas Talbot, 2nd Viscount Lisle, son of John. She was buried in St Faith under St Paul's at London.
