Overview
Mariamne III was the daughter of Aristobulus IV and Berenice I. Her paternal grandparents were Herod the Great and Mariamne, while Salome I and Costobarus were her maternal grandparents. She was thus related to both the House of Herod and the House of Hasmoneus. Her siblings were Herod Agrippa I, Herod of Chalcis, Herodias and Aristobulus Minor.
After the execution of his father in 7 BCE Mariamne III was betrothed to Antipater II, her uncle and the eldest son (and appointed heir) of King Herod the Great. When Antipater II also was executed in 4 BCE by Herod, Mariamne III likely became the first wife of another uncle, Herod Archelaus, who took the place of Antipater II as the main heir of Herod's kingdom.
Mariamne III in ancient sources
Herodias is mentioned in Josephus.
Mariamne III in scholarship
Research on Mariamne III is limited by the paucity of historical sources. Mariamne is little more that a name in the genealogies of the descendants of Herod.
