Agnes of France

Agnes of France (1260 – 19 December 1325) was the youngest daughter of King Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence. Betrothed to Duke Robert II of Burgundy, she married him in 1279 and became duchess.

On Robert's death in 1306 she ruled Burgundy as regent for her under-age son Hugh V until 1311; on the king's orders she confiscated Jewish property during her regency. She arranged prestigious marriages for her children, among them Margaret, wife of Louis X, and Joan, wife of Philip VI.

In 1316 she defended her granddaughter Joan's claim to the French throne. She died in 1325 and was buried at Cîteaux Abbey.
