Life

Jeanne was born in the royal Château de Vincennes and was part of both parents of Capetian lineage. Your godparents were her future in-laws, King John II the Good and Jutta of Luxembourg. Her parents first wanted to marry the Dauphin Humbert II of Vienne, but this failed due to the occurrence of Humberts in a spiritual life.

Finally, Jeanne was in 1349 engaged to the heir to the throne Charles, who was her mother 's second cousin. Pope Clement VI. had issued for these relatives marriage a necessary dispensation. The close relationship of the couple was probably the cause of the mental illness of the future King Charles VI. , Which was called " the madman ." Half of Jeanne's dowry ( 100,000 fl ) was used for the purchase of the Principality of Dauphiné, which took her fiancé of Humbert II.

On April 8, 1350, the 12 -year-old Jeanne married in Tain l'Hermitage her then 13 -year-old fiance. The first child was born but it was only when she was 18 years old:

  • Jeanne, * November 1357, † October 21, 1360 in the Abbey of Saint -Antoine -des- Champs
  • Jean, * probably in 1359, well before 1364 †
  • Bonne, probably * 1360 † November 7, 1360 in Paris, also buried there

After that, Karl turned from her and the Biette Cassinel to, who became his official mistress, but the couple came to Charles's coronation on May 19, 1364 back together, especially since their son Jean was probably dead, and again there was a need for a legitimate heir to the throne. The resumed marriage seems to have become harmonious, Karl V. estimated the opinion of his wife not only artistic, but also in political questions high. In her time as Queen six more children were born:

  • Jean, born June 7, 1366 Vincennes, † December 21, 1366 well there
  • Charles VI. the Mad ( Charles VI. le Fou, also le Bien -Aimé ) * December 3, 1368 in Paris, † October 21, 1422 there, 1368 Dauphin of Viennois, 1380 King of France,

  • Isabelle, * July 24, 1373 in Paris, † February 13, 1378 there, buried in the Basilica of Saint- Denis
