Clementine of Hungary from the house of Anjou (* February 1293 ; † October 12 or 13, 1328 in Paris ) was Queen of France and Navarre and Countess of Champagne by marriage .

origin

Klementine was the daughter of the Hungarian King Karl I Martel from the House of Anjou and his wife Klementine from the House of Habsburg, daughter of the Roman-German King Rudolf I.

Life

On August 19, 1315, Clementine married the French King Louis X the Quarrel (1289-1316), son of King Philip IV of France and his wife Johanna von Navarra , daughter of King Henry I the Fat in Paris .

Their son was born as King of France in 1316: Jean I, posthumous (John the next born). The infant died five days later, shortly after he was baptized. The widowed mother retired to the Sainte-Marie de Nazareth monastery near Aix-en-Provence .

Clementine of Hungary died during a stay in Paris, at the age of 35, shortly after she wrote her will on October 5, 1328 in the Temple . Her body was buried in the Jacobin monastery in Paris, her heart in the monastery of Sainte-Marie de Nazareth.

The under Louis XVIII. salvaged remains of her tomb are now exhibited in a side chapel of the basilica of Saint-Denis. Her grave figure is attributed to the same workshop as those of Margaret of Artois (1285-1311) and the Blanche of France (1253-1323), which are also in Saint-Denis.
