John of Charolais

The seal of the daughter of John, Lady Joanna

John (French: Jean; 1283 — 1322) was a mediaeval French nobleman, Lord (seigneur) of Charolais and Saint-Just, who fought in Flanders. He is also known as John of Clermont (Jean de Clermont).

Life

Lord John was born in 1283 as a son of Robert, Count of Clermont[1] and his wife, Beatrice of Burgundy, Lady of Bourbon,[2] and thus a younger brother of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon.[3] John’s famous relative was King Philip IV of France. C. 1309, John married Joanna of Dargies and Catheux (daughter of Renaud II of Dargies and Catheux and his spouse, Agnes). John and his wife had a daughter, Lady Beatrice of Charolais, who succeeded her father. Another daughter of John’s was Joanna, wife to John I, Count of Auvergne.

Burial

John was buried in Lyon, but his bones were later transferred to Paris.
