Jeanne de Bourbon
|
Jeanne de Bourbon (February 3, 1338 - February 6, 1377) was the Queen of France, due to her marriage to King Charles V. Jeanne was daughter of Peter I, Duke of Bourbon and Isabelle de Valois.
Her father, grandfather, and brother were all somewhat mentally unstable, and Jeanne seems to have inherited this family ailment. She suffered a complete nervous breakdown after the birth of her seventh child. Her eldest surviving son, Charles VI, was famous for his insanity. From her marriage to Charles V of France were born nine children:
- Jeanne (1357-1360)
- Jean (1359-1364)
- Bonne (1360-1360)
- Jean (1366-1366)
- Charles VI of France (1368-1422)
- Marie (1370-1377)
- Louis of Valois, Duke of Orléans (1372-1407)
- Isabelle (1373-1378)
- Catherine (1378-1388)
