Joanna I, Countess of Auvergne

Joanna I, Countess of Auvergne

Joanna I of Auvergne (May 8 1326 – September 29 1360, Chateau d'Argilly) was Queen consort of France by her marriage to King John II.

She was the daughter of William, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne, by his wife Marguerite d'Évreux (the sister of Philip III of Navarre). Joanna inherited the counties of Auvergne and Boulogne after the death of her father.

Her first husband was Philip of Burgundy, who held the title Count of Auvergne by virtue of their marriage. They had one child, Philip, who would be for much of his brief life Duke of Burgundy (by inheriting the title from his grandfather).

Following the death of her husband, Joanna married John II of France on February 13 1349; she became Queen consort of France in the following year. Her son became a ward of the King. She bore her second husband two children, both girls, and both of whom died young. She died in 1360. Her possessions were inherited by her son.
