A Tyrell rose married three times toward the same throne, twice widowed before the marriage could properly begin, and last seen behind the Faith's bars awaiting a trial the published chronicle has not yet held.
Highgarden's Rose
Granddaughter of Olenna Tyrell and daughter of Mace, Margaery was wed first to Renly Baratheon during his brief bid for the Iron Throne, a marriage his death at the Battle of the Blackwater left unconsummated. House Tyrell pivoted immediately, offering her to King Joffrey Baratheon instead; when Joffrey was poisoned at their own wedding feast in 300 AC, she was married again within the year to his younger brother Tommen, each match executing the same Tyrell strategy of claiming a crown through the marriage bed rather than the battlefield.
The Faith's Prisoner
She cultivated real popularity among the smallfolk of King's Landing through visible almsgiving and warmth Cersei Lannister could never quite manufacture, which made her a target once Cersei's alliance with the newly empowered High Sparrow and his Faith Militant turned against the Tyrells. Arrested alongside her cousins on charges of adultery and perjury, Margaery remains a prisoner of the Faith in a sept cell as the published chronicle's timeline currently ends, her trial not yet held and her fate not yet written.

The arc of Margaery Tyrell
This carries the character’s road through the published novels. Read on only if you do not fear to know.
Margaery's fate beyond her imprisonment is unresolved in the published novels; no trial outcome or subsequent event has yet appeared in print.
These partings name deaths, endings, and roads not yet ridden in the books. Unveil them only if both roads are known to you — or if you do not fear to know.
Legacy
Margaery's story is, as of the last published book, a cliffhanger rather than a conclusion — the maesters record what is known and decline to guess at what has not yet happened.
