Johanna of Évreux
Johanna von Evreux (French: Jeanne d'Évreux ; * 1310 ; † March 4, 1371 in Brie-Comte-Robert ) was Queen of France from 1326 to 1328.
She was the daughter of Louis of Evreux and Margaret of Artois. On July 5, 1324, she married her first cousin, King Charles IV, as his third wife, for which a papal dispensation was required due to the blood relationship . The coronation as French queen took place on May 11, 1326. Charles IV died in February 1328 at the age of 34, with which the main line of the Capetian men had died out. The daughter Blanche was born two months later.
In 1341 Johanna donated a chapel and an infirmarium for the Franciscan monastery Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris.
Joan of Evreux died in 1371. Her body was buried in the Saint-Denis basilica , where her grave figure is preserved. The entrails were buried in the Abbey of Maubuisson , whether the heart was buried in the Couvent des Cordeliers or in the Abbey of Maubuisson is not clear.
