Jeanne de Navarre, also known as Joan I & Juana I, was the daughter of king Henry I of Navarre and Blanche of Artois, reigned as queen regnant of Navarre and also served as queen consort of France. Joan was born in Bar-sur-Seine on 14 January 1273. The following year 1274, upon the death of her father, she became Countess of Champagne and Queen regnant of Navarre. Her mother was her guardian and regent in Navarre. Various powers, both foreign and Navarrese, sought to take advantage of the minority of the heiress and the "weakness" of the female regent, which caused Joan and her mother to seek protection at the court of Philip III of France.
At the age of 11, Joan married the future Philip IV of France on 16 August 1284, becoming queen of France a year later. Their three surviving sons would all rule as kings of France, in turn, and their only surviving daughter, Isabella became queen consort of England. Queen Joan founded the famous College of Navarre in Paris.
Jeanne married Philippe le Bel Capet Roi des Francs, son of Phillippe III "le Hardi" Capet Roi des Francs and Isabella de Aragón, on 16 Aug 1284 in Paris, France. (Philippe le Bel Capet Roi des Francs was born Spring 1268 in Fontainbleau, France, died on 20 Nov 1314 in Fontainbleau, France and was buried in 1314 in Saint Denis Basilica.)
