Joan I of Auvergne

Joan I of Auvergne (8 May 1326 – 29 September 1360) inherited the counties of Auvergne and Boulogne as a child, when her father William XII died in 1332. Her first husband, Philip of Burgundy, fell at Aiguillon in 1346; their infant son Philip inherited the Duchy of Burgundy in 1349 under her regency.

In February 1350 she married John, Duke of Normandy. His first wife had died of the Black Death leaving eight children, so there was little pressure on Joan to produce an heir. When John succeeded as John II that August, she became queen of France.

Her three children with him died young, and her son Philip became a ward of the king. She died at the Château d'Argilly in 1360. Philip inherited her counties but died the next year, aged fifteen.
