Joanna I of Auvergne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joanna I of Auvergne (8 May 1326 – 29 September 1360, Chateau d'Argilly) inherited the counties of Auvergne and Boulogne after the death of her father Count William XII of Auvergne. Her first husband was Philip of Burgundy, who held the title Count of Auvergne by virtue of their marriage. They had one child, Philip, who would be for much of his brief life Duke of Burgundy (by inheriting the title from his grandfather).

Following the death of her husband, Joanna married John II of France on 13 February 1349; she became Queen consort of France in the following year. Her son became a ward of the King. She bore her second husband two children, both girls, and both of whom died young. She died in 1360. Her possessions were inherited by her son.
