13. | John I The Victorious Duke Of BRABANT (5.Alice2, 1.Hugh1) was born in 1252/3; died on 03 May 1294 in Leuven; was buried in The Church of the Minderbroeders in Leuven. Notes:
John I van Brabant, also called John I the Victorious (Leuven 1252/1253 ? May 3, 1294 in Leuven) was Duke of Brabant (1267?1294), Lothier and Limburg (1288?1294).
He was the son of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and Aleidis of Burgundy, daughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy. He was also an older brother of Maria of Brabant, Queen consort of Philip III of France.
In 1267 his older brother Henry IV, Duke of Brabant, being mentally deficient, was deposed in his favour. His greatest military victory was the Battle of Woeringen, by which John I came to reign over the Duchy of Limburg. In 1288 Limburg was formally attached to Brabant.
John I is said to be a perfect model of a feudal prince in the days of chivalry: brave, adventurous, excelling in every form of active exercise, fond of display, generous in temper. This made him very popular in Middle Ages poetry and literature. Even today there exists an ode to him, so well-known that it was a potential candidate to be the North Brabant anthem. Jan delighted in tournaments and was always eager to take part in jousts. He was also famous for his many illegitimate children.
On May 3, 1294 at some marriage festivities at Bar-le-Duc (now France), John I was mortally wounded in the arm in an encounter. He was buried in the church of the Minderbroeders in Leuven, but since the Protestant iconoclasm (Beeldenstorm) in 1566, nothing remains of his tomb.
John married Margaret Princess Of FRANCE on 05 Sep 1270. Margaret (daughter of Louis IX and Margaret Of PROVENCE) was born in 1254 in Paris, France; died in 1271; was buried in St Denis, Isle De France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

16. | Marguerite Of BURGUNDY (6.Robert2, 1.Hugh1) was born in 1290; died in 1315 in Gaillard. Notes:
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
She was allegedly cauaght in adultery, and imprisoned for the rest of her life. She was allegedly strangled in 1315, after 2 years of imprisonment, in order to allow her husband to remarry.
She gave birth to one daughter, Jeanne, who later became Queen regnant Joan II of Navarre. Her paternity was under doubts of bastardy. However Joan was an undoubted scion of Margaret and thus a full potential heir to Burgundy. She was also a carrier of Louis IX the Saint.
Marguerite married Louis X King Of FRANCE on 21 Sep 1305. Louis (son of Philip IV and Jeanne I Of NAVARRE) was born on 04 Oct 1289 in Paris, France; died on 05 Jun 1316 in Vincennes, France; was buried in Saint Denis, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

38. | Joan II Queen Of NAVARRE (16.Marguerite3, 6.Robert2, 1.Hugh1) was born on 28 Jan 1312; died on 06 Oct 1349. 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]

43. | John II King Of FRANCE (19.Jeanne3, 6.Robert2, 1.Hugh1) was born on 16 Apr 1319; died on 08 Apr 1364. Notes:
Wikipedia Encyclopedia:
John II of France (French: Jean II de France; April 16, 1319?April 8, 1364), was Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, and Duke of Normandy from 1332, Count of Poitiers from 1344, and Duke of Guyenne from 1345, and King of France from 1350 until his death, as well as Duke of Burgundy from 1361 on. John was a member of the Valois Dynasty and was the son of Philippe VI and Jeanne of Burgundy. John was nicknamed John the Good (Jean le Bon).
John's coronation as king took place in 1350 in the Notre-Dame de Reims. As king, John surrounded himself with poor administrators, preferring to enjoy the good life his wealth as king brought. The men he relied on to administer his kingdom were brutal thieves but eventually King Jean changed.
In the 1356 Battle of Poitiers against Edward, the Black Prince (son of King Edward III of England), Jean suffered a humiliating defeat and was taken as captive back to England. While negotiating a peace accord, he was at first held in the Savoy Palace, then at a variety of locations, including Windsor, Hertford, Somerton Castle in Lincolnshire, and Berkhamsted Castle in Hertfordshire. A local tradition in St Albans is that he was held in a house in that town, at the site of the 15th-century Fleur de Lys inn, before he was moved to Hertford. There is a sign on the inn to that effect, but apparently no evidence to confirm the tradition [1]. Eventually, John was taken to the Tower of London.
As a prisoner of the English, John was granted royal privileges, permitted to travel about, and to enjoy a regal lifestyle. At a time when law and order was breaking down in France and the government was having a hard time raising money for the defense of the realm, his account books during his captivity show that he was purchasing horses, pets and clothes while maintaining an astrologer and a court band.[citation needed]
The 1360 Treaty of BrÈtigny set his ransom at 3,000,000 crowns. In keeping with the honor between himself and King Edward III, and leaving his son Louis of Anjou in English-held Calais as a replacement hostage, John was allowed to return to France to raise his ransom funds.
While King John tried to raise the money, his son Louis, accorded the same royal dignity, easily escaped from the English. An angry King John surrendered himself again to the English, claiming an inability to pay the ransom as the reason. The true motive of John's decision remains murky today, with many pointing to the devastation in France caused by war with England and the Jacquerie peasant uprising as likely candidates. His councillors and nearly the whole nation was critical of the decision, since they had raised the ransom through painstaking sacrifice. However Jean arrived in England in early 1364, looked upon by ordinary citizens and English royalty alike with great admiration. Accordingly, he was held as an honored prisoner in the Savoy Palace but died in London a few months later.
His body was returned to France, where he was interred in the royal chambers at Saint Denis Basilica
