MATERNAL DESCENT

Her paternity has been questioned by Genealogist s but her maternal descent has been traced with certainty to Margarita De Castro E Sousa , a Portuguese noblewoman of the 15th Century . Castro could trace her own descent to Afonso III Of Portugal and a mistress of his called Madragana (Mor Afonso) , daughter of the Mozarab ( Iberian Christian s living under Muslim domination) governor of Faro , Aloandro Ben Bekar .

Georg III was married twice. His second wife Mary von Barby, Countess of Barby -Muhlingen ( 1563 - 1619 ) was mother to his successor Georg Albrecht I, Count of Erbach ( 1597 - 1647 / 1649 ).
