Joan I (8 May 1326 – 29 September 1360,
Queen of France by her marriage to King John II
.
Life
She was the daughter of
Auvergne and Boulogne
after the death of her father.
Her first husband was
Count of Auvergne by virtue of their marriage.[2] They had one surviving child, Philip, who would be for much of his brief life Duke of Burgundy
.
Following the death of her husband, Joan married
Bonne of Bohemia, had died of Black Death
and had left him with eight children, so there was little pressure for Joan to give birth to a son and heir. Upon her husband's ascension to the French throne as John II, she became Queen consort of France on 22 August 1350.
Joan's son Philip became a ward of the King. She had three children with King John, two girls and an unnamed son, all of whom died young. Joan died in 1360. Her possessions were inherited by her son.
Issue
By her first husband, Philip, Joan had the following issue:
- Joan (1344 – 11 September 1360), who was engaged to Amadeus VI of Savoy but was ultimately dismissed and lived out her life in a convent at Poissy[3]
- Margaret (b. 1345), who died young
- Margaret III of Flanders[4]
By her second husband, John, Joan had two short-lived daughters, Blanche (November 1350) and Catherine (1352), and a short-lived son (1353).
