Jindrichohradeckou bílou paní byla však Markéta z Hardegga, a to dokonce už za svého života. Anžto poté, co pochovala l. p. 1365 svého manžela Jindricha I. z Hradce, predala panství svému synovi a vstoupila do krumlovského kláštera. Jako jeptiška - klariska nosívala bílé reholní roucho, a tak mezi lidem byla nazývána bílou paní.
Když l. p 1369 odešla i ona na vecnost, zjevovala se jako bílá paní v neprístupné veži ci na chodbách. Odená v bílém rouše, se závojem halícím její tvár tiše otvírala a opet zavírala dvere jednotlivých komnat. Pokud ji nekdo spatril a pozdravem ji pocastoval, odpovedela pokynutím hlavy. Když však lidé na ni ukázaly prstem, pocala se pozvolna rozplývat, až se docela vytratila. Zjevovala se také jako posel dobrých i zlých zpráv. Celá v bílém šate zvestovala narození potomka, mela-li cerné rukavice, hlásala smrt. U pasu mela zavešený svazek klícu, jímž zarachotila, kdykoliv byla s necím nespokojena. Nekdy se však prihodilo, že ji necím tuze rozhnevali a bílá paní jim dala svou nelibost patricne najevo, jak o tom také vypráví povest o medové kaši, která se varila na Jindrichove Hradci pro chudé.
=====================
The legend of the White Lady is tied to many castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic. One of the best known is related to Jindrichuv Hradec and the White Lady Markéta (Margaret) of Hardegg. When she died in 1369, she started appearing like a white girl in an inaccessible tower or in the hallways, dressed in white robes, with a veil on her face. If anyone saw her and greets her, she answered by nod. But when people pointed their fingers at her, and began to slowly fade away, until quite disappeared. She appeared as a messenger of good and bad news. All in white dress heralded the birth of a child if she has black gloves, proclaiming death. The waist was hanging keys, which rattled whenever was dissatisfied with something. Sometimes, however, happened to be something overly angry and White Lady gave them her displeasure clear properly, as it also tells the tale of honey porridge, which was cooked at Jindrichuv Hradec Henry for the poor.
