Early life
Marie-Jenke was born at Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary on 23 April 1921, descended from the House of Keglević, a Croatian noble family. She was the fourth child and only daughter of Count Stephan Keglevich of Buzin (Croatian: Stjepan Keglević Buzinski) and Countess Klára Zichy of Zich and Vásonkeö.[1]
Marriage and family
Countess Marie-Jenke married on 21 April 1971 (civilly) and on 22 April 1971 (religiously) in Weichselboden, Styria Austria, to Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria, son of Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria and his first wife, Duchess Marie Gabrielle in Bavaria and grandson of King Ludwig III of Bavaria.[1] They had no issue. Albrecht had been married previously to Countess Maria Draskovich of Trakostjan who died in 1969.
