Maria is assumed to have been the second daughter of Philipp von Schwaben and Maria, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Isaac Angelos. This is based on her being named second in a list of the four daughters of Philipp.[1] She married Hendrik II van Brabant[2] before 22 Aug 1215, a date widely cited but so far without primary documentation.[3][4][5] The same sources report her death either before 1235, or 1235, or 29 Mar 1235, or before 22 Aug 1235, again without primary sources. review of chronicles, annals, and other contemporaneous or near-contemporaneous sources accessible through MGH has so far not yielded a date or place for her death.

"Maria of Hohenstaufen was born in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy on 3 April 1201. She was the second daughter of Philip of Swabia and Irene Angelina of Byzantium.[1] In 1208, at the age of seven, Maria was left an orphan by the unexpected deaths of her parents. On 21 June, her father was murdered by Otto of Wittelsbach, and two months later her mother died after giving birth to a daughter, who did not live beyond early infancy.
Maria of Hohenstaufen died on 29 March 1235 in Leuven, Brabant, five days before her thirty-fourth birthday. Less than six months later, her husband succeeded his father as Duke of Brabant and Lothier."
