Reading Games Snow White - SNOW WHITE - COULD SHE BE MARGARETE? In this portrait, by an unnamed artist, we see Margarete von Waldeck, a German girl who lived during the 16th century. Some historians think Margarete was the real "Snow White." It's impossible to be sure, but scholars think the Brothers Grimm may have used real people as the basis for some of their stories. We have some clues that the answer is "yes." The first clue takes us back to the 16th century. Children worked in the Waldeck mines, just like they did elsewhere in Europe. A surviving portrait of Margarete reveals her beauty. Margarete von Waldeck thereafter had a stepmother - Katharina von Hatzfeld. Traveling over the seven mountains of the Spessart, she arrived in Brussels where Margarete, and her beauty, caused quite a sensation. Before long, Philip II - the future King of Spain - was smitten by Margarete's appearance. The legends of history tell us that Philip wanted to marry the girl from Germany. Margarete had nothing meaningful to offer Philip by way of a political alliance.
