Notes:

Louis X the Quarreller, also called the Headstrong or the Stubborn, (French: Louis X le Hutin, Spanish: Luis el Obstinado) (October 4, 1289 ? June 5, 1316), King of France from 1314 to 1316, was a member of the Capetian Dynasty.

He was born in Paris, France, son of Philip IV of France and Jeanne of Navarre.

He inherited the title king of Navarre on the death of his mother, on April 2, 1305.

On the death of his father in 1314, he became king of France and was officially crowned at Reims in August 1315.

On September 21, 1305 he married Marguerite de Bourgogne (Burgundy) and they had a daughter, Jeanne (January 28, 1312 - October 6, 1349). Louis accused his wife of adultery and she was imprisoned and died in the chateau Gaillard. On August 13, 1315 he married Clemence d'Anjou (1293 - 1328), daughter of Charles Martel and sister of Charles I of Hungary.

The reign of Louis X was short and unremarkable, dominated by the continued feuding with the noble factions within the kingdom.

Louis died at Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, following a game of Jeu de Paume (some say from dehydration) in 1316. He was interred with his second wife Clemence in Saint Denis Basilica.

At the time of Louis's death, his wife Clemence was pregnant, making it impossible to know Louis's successor until the time his child was born. If the child were a son, he would succeed Louis as king: had the child been a daughter, there would be a question between Louis's (eldest) daughter Joan and his brother Philip V. (John I's half-sister Jeanne, as a female, had a disputed claim to the throne of France: a female could not succeed to the throne of France if following the Salic law; she did, however, have rights in the succession of Navarre where females are allowed - witness that kingdom being brought to Capetians by Louis' own mother). It must be underscored that at that time, there existed these two ideas of succession, and it was not at all clear that Salic Law should be followed. This legal question had never earlier been resolved regarding the throne of France.

Louis's next brother, the future Philip V was appointed regent (this act working in favor of the idea of him being the heir presumptive and the Salic Law being in control - however, Joan was at that time a minor, thus not a very good candidate for regentship - and apparently, the pregnant widow, queen Clemence, was not regarded a good choice for position of the regent), for the five months remaining until the birth of his brother's child, who turned out to be male. Thus Louis was succeeded by his posthumous son John I (Jean I), who lived only five days. Louis X's brother Philip then became king.

Louis married Marguerite Of BURGUNDY on 21 Sep 1305. Marguerite (daughter of Robert II Duke Of BURGUNDY and Agnes Princess Of FRANCE) was born in 1290; died in 1315 in Gaillard. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Clemence Of ANJOU. Clemence (daughter of Charles Martel Of ANJOU and Klementia Of GERMANY) was born in 1293; died in 1328. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Excerpt from Blood Royal: Charles IV, King of France, died in 1328, leaving no sons or brothers to succeed him. He had one sister, Isabella of France, mother of Edward III. Because Frances's Salic law did not allow a woman to succeed to the throne, Philip VI, Charles' cousin, succeeded. However, England did not recognize the Salic law, and Edward III claimed the throne of France through his mother, thus beginning the Hundred Years' War.

Family/Spouse: Joan Of FRANCE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Pushed aside by her husband in his perference for his favorite, Piers Gaveston, she became romantically involved with Roger de Mortimer, Earlof March, and their intrigues resulted in the deposition and assassination of the king.

Isabella married Edward II King Of ENGLAND on 25 Jan 1308 in Boulogne Cathedral, France. Edward (son of Edward I "Longshanks"Of ENGLAND and Countess of Ponthieu Eleanor of CASTILE) was born on 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarvon Castle, Caernarvonshire, Wales; died on 21 Sep 1327 in (Murdered) Berkeley Castle, Berkeley, Gloucesteshire, England; was buried in Gloucester Cathedral,Gloucestershire, England.

Notes:

Joan II of Navarre (January 28, 1312 - October 6, 1349) was Queen of Navarre 1328?1349. She was the only daughter of King Louis X of France (I of Navarre) and his first wife, Margaret of Burgundy.

On the death of her father (in 1316) and half-brother, John I (also 1316), who were kings of both France and Navarre, she was excluded from their succession, mostly because of doubts about her paternity. Her uncles, King Philip V of France (II of Navarre) and King Charles IV of France (I of Navarre), took precedence over the young girl on the Navarrese throne, even though it was inheritable by females. With regards to the French crown, several legal reasons were invoked by Philip V and later by Philip VI of France to bar her from the succession, such as proximity in kinship to Louis IX of France. Later, the Salic Law was construed as the reason.

After Charles IV of France died in 1328, she became Queen of Navarre through a treaty with the new king, Philip VI of France, who was not a descendant of the later Kings of Navarre than Garcia VI. In the treaty, she had to renounce her rights to the crown of France, and her grandmother's estates in Brie and Champagne (which were put into the French royal domain). In compensation, she received the counties of AngoulÍme and Mortain as well as a portion of Cotentin (Longueville). Later on she exchanged Angouleme for three estates in Vexin:- Pontoise, Beaumont-sur-Oise, and AsniËre-sur-Oise. She thus lost France, but her descendants returned to the throne of France when Henry IV of France inherited the crown two centuries later, in 1594. (From that onwards, all Kings of France have been carrying also Joan's blood. (Henry II was Joan's issue in 8th generation, through for example his maternal great-grandmother Margaret of Foix-Navarre, duchess consort of Brittany, and through Margaret's husband's great-grandmother Joan of Navarre, queen of England and also duchess consort of Brittany, who herself was Joan's granddaughter.)

She reigned as queen until her death in 1349, together with her husband, Philip III of Navarre as king consort, 1329?1343. Philip was also Count of …vreux, the heir of Count Louis of …vreux (youngest son of Philip III of France), and thus of Capetian male blood. Because of his patrimonial lands, together with Joan's gains in Normandy and her rights in Champagne, the couple had extensive possessions in Northern France.

Altogether, Joan and Philip had eight children. She was succeeded by their son Charles II of Navarre. Their daughter Blanche d'Evreux became the second wife of Philip VI of France.

Joan married Philip III The Good King Of NAVARRE in 1316. Philip (son of Lewis Of FRANCE and Margaret Of ARTOIS) died on 26 Sep 1343. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Reigned 1327-1377. Edward assumed effective power in 1330 after imprisoning his mother and executing her lover Roger de Mortimer who had murdered his father; therafter his reign was dominated by military adventures. His victory in Scotland, especially at Haildon Hill 1333 encouraged him to plan (1363) the union of England and Scotland. Through his mother he claimed the French throne thus starting (1337) the Hundred years war. His son John of Gaunt dominated the government during his last years. Died of a Stroke.

Name:
Edward III of England, King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duc d'Aguitaine, Earl of Chester, was born at Windsor Castle, co. Berks, on 13 Nov. 1312. He succeeded his father as from 24 Jan 1326/7, and was crowned aged fifteen at Westminster Abbey on 29 Jan 1326/7. During his first four years of his reign England was governed in his name by his mother and Roger Mortimer. Edward assumed personal rule on 19-20 Oct 1330, and had Mortimer executed. In 1333 he reversed Isabelle's and Mortimer's policy of peace with Scotland by invading it, reviving the ambitions of his grandfather King Edward I. Edward III's main foreign preoccupation, however, from 1337 onwards was France, whose king, Philippe VI, then declared his Ducy of Gascony forfeited. Edward formally assumed the title ensued with some respite from truces. The financial burden of the war roused resentment which was assuaged somewhat when Edward negotiated the main war taxes with the representatives of the shires and the borough communities sitting in parliament. He aroused enthusiasm for the war by engaging the chivalrous interests of the nobles in it and stirring up distrust and hatred of the French. Edward won the battle of Sluys in Flanders in June 1340. Bubonic plague (the Black Death) made its first appearance in England during his reign in 1348. His son Edward 'the Black Prince' captured the French king, Jean II, in his victory at Poitiers in 1356. In 1360 Jean the Duchy of Aquitaine in full sovereignty. The gains won by English armed forces however could not be sustained in the face of sustained French resources. In the war of 1369-75 Jean's son Charles V won back from Edward what had been conceded in 1360. By the tie of his death he had been discredited. His wife and consort died at Windsor Castle on 15 Aug 1369. Edward III of England, King of England, died at Sheen Palace, Richmond, Surrey, on 21 June 1377. They were buried at Westminster Abbey. The descendants of their sons, Lionel of Clarence, John of Lancaster, and Edmund of York, contested the Throne for generations ending the Wars of the Roses from 1455 to 1485.

Edward ruled for 50 years, reign dominated by the 100 Years' War with France. Edward's principal aim was to unite the nobility into a cohesive class of public servants, motivated by chivalry, enriched by the wealth he enabled them to win, and tied to the crown through marriage to his relatives.

Tall and handsome, with gold-red hair, Edward was a flamboyant affable, and generous man. He excelled in the knightly arts, and loved hunting and falconry. He was much loved by his people.

Edward married Philippa Of HAINAULT on 24 Jan 1328 in York Minster, York, Yorkshire, England. Philippa (daughter of William III and Jeanne Of VALOIS) was born on 24 Jun 1311 in Valenciennes; died on 15 Aug 1369 in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England; was buried in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England.

• Also Known As: Charles the Bad
• Name: Charles II The Bad

Notes:

Wikipedia Encyclopedia:
Charles II (October 10, 1332, …vreux, ? January 1, 1387, Pamplona), called "Charles the Bad," was King of Navarre 1349?1387 and Count of …vreux 1343?1387.

Besides the Pyrenean Kingdom of Navarre, he had extensive lands in Normandy, inherited from his father Count Philip of …vreux, and his mother, Queen Joan II of Navarre, who had received them as compensation for resigning her claims to France, Champagne, and Brie in 1328. Thus, in Northern France, Charles possessed …vreux, Mortain, parts of Vexin, and a portion of Cotentin.

He hoped for a long time for a restoration of his rights to the crown of France (as son of the daughter of King Louis X).

He married Joan of France (1343?1373), daughter of king John II of France.

He was implicated in the assassination (January 8, 1354) of the constable of France, Charles de la Cerda. In reply, King John attacked …vreux and Navarre, but after Charles allied with the Black Prince, the Treaty of Mantes returned the peace, Charles enlarging his possessions. John captured and imprisoned Charles in 1356, but Charles was released after the Battle of Poitiers. During certain stages of the Hundred Years' War, he was allied with the English. He was one of the nobles involved in the repression of the Jacquerie.

In 1361, after the premature death of his second cousin, Duke Philip I of Burgundy, Charles claimed the Duchy of Burgundy by primogeniture. He was the grandson of Margaret of Burgundy, eldest daughter of Duke Robert II of Burgundy (d. 1306). However, the duchy was taken by John II, son of Joan of Burgundy, second daughter of Duke Robert II, who claimed it in proximity of blood.

In 1364, he was defeated by Bertrand du Guesclin, and driven from his Norman lands
