She married 1380, before March 23, with Duke Wartislaw VII of Pomerania[3] (died c. 1394–1395) and together they had one son and a daughter:
- Bogusław (c. 1382–1459),[3] better known as the Kalmar Union King Eric of Pomerania; and,
- Catherine (c. 1390–1426),[3] married to Count palatine John, Count Palatine of Neumarkt (c. 1383–1443).
Maria was also possibly the heir to her aunt, the Nordic Union Queen Margaret I of Denmark.
