Jeanne de Montfort-Castres

Jeanne de Montfort (c. 1255–1293), daughter of Philip II of Montfort, Lord of Castres, and Jeanne de Lévis, was twice married into princely houses. In 1268 she wed her cousin Guigues VI of Albon, Count of Forez, and after his death in 1278 ruled Forez as regent for their three-year-old son John I until 1290. Her donations to religious orders and distribution of food to the poor won her esteem as regent.

In 1283 she married Louis of Savoy, Baron of Vaud, becoming baroness of Vaud and bearing ten children, including Louis II. She was buried at Hautecombe Abbey.
