Everything about Joan I Of Navarre totally explained
Joan I de Navarre, also known as
Joanna or
Joan of Navarre (c.
14 January 1271 –
April 4,
1305),
Queen regnant of
Navarre and
Queen consort of
France, was the daughter of king
Henry I of Navarre and
Blanche of Artois.
In
1274, upon the death of her father, she became Countess of Champagne and
Queen regnant of Navarre. Her mother Queen Blanche was her guardian and
Regent in Navarre. Various powers, both foreign and Navarrese, sought to take advantage of the minority of the heiress and the "weakness" of the female regent, which caused Jeanne and her mother to seek protection at the court of
Philip III of France.
At the age of 13, Jeanne married the future
Philip IV of France on
August 16,
1284, becoming Queen of France a year later. Queen Jeanne founded the famous College of Navarre in Paris. She died in childbirth in 1305. The crowns of Navarre and France were henceforth
united for almost half a century. Their children were:
- Marguerite (1288–c.1294)
- Louis X of France, King Louis I of Navarre from 1305, France from 1314 (October, 1289 – June 5, 1316)
- Blanche (1290–c.1294)
- Philip V of France and Navarre (as Philip II) (1292/93 – January 3, 1322)
- Charles IV of France and Navarre (as Charles I) (c.1294 – February 1, 1328)
- Isabelle (c.1295 – August 23, 1358), married Edward II of England
- Robert (1297 – July 1308)
Their three surviving sons would all become Kings of France, in turn, and their only surviving daughter Queen consort of England.
Jeanne led an army against the Count de Bar when he rebelled against her.
Jeanne died under mysterious circumstances; one chronicler even accused her husband of having killed her. Her personal physician was the inventor
Guido da Vigevano.
