Joan of Navarre

Joan of Navarre

▪ queen of England
French  Jeanne de Navarre 
born c. 1370
died July 9, 1437, Havering atte Bowe, Essex, Eng.

      the wife of Henry IV of England and the daughter of Charles the Bad, king of Navarre.

      In 1386 Joan was married to John IV (John IV (or V)) (or V), duke of Brittany; they had eight children. John died in 1399, and Joan was regent for her son John V (or VI) until 1401. During his banishment (1398–99), the future Henry IV resided with Joan and the duke of Brittany, and strong affections developed between Henry and Joan. Following her husband's death in November 1399, Joan had a proxy marriage to Henry in April 1402; Henry returned to England with Joan in 1403, and they were formally married. The English disapproved of Henry's French bride and distrusted Joan's foreign favourites at Henry's court. Many of the French likewise disapproved of the marriage. After Henry's death in 1413, Joan received an annuity, but, because of an active anti-French policy in England, she was accused of witchcraft in 1419, imprisoned, and denied access to the revenue from her dowry. She was released in 1422, and the remainder of her life was uneventful.
