Joan was born in Palestine while her parents were on crusade. The seventh child, and second surviving daughter of Edward I and his first wife, she was raised in Ponthieu by her grandmother Jeanne de Dammartin, widow of Ferdinand III of Castile.
In 1278, her father sent Stephen of Penecester and his wife to bring Joan to England. She married twice, and is remembered for alleged miracles at her grave.
(Royal Ancestry) Joan of England died 23 April 1307 and was buried in the Austin Friars at Clare, Suffolk.
Austin Friars in Clare, Suffolk was known as Clare Priory (or Friary) founded in 1248 by Richard de Clare (d.1262), who had the "Honour of Clare" being lord of the area. The priory was the first house of Augustinians in England and was the "mother house" of its 34 priories in that country. The priory was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1538 and fell into disrepair with many buildings lost completely. Some remains of the original priory still exist but the present Clare Priory is a more modern building. There are no records of ancient Clare monuments/tombs and these were probably destroyed following surrender of the priory ion 1538. But the priory does have a tomb attributed to Joan of England & Acre.
Joan died in childbirth at Clare Manor, Suffolk. She was buried "before a concourse of royal and noble personages."
Other notables buried at Clare Priory were Lionel of Antwerp Duke of Clarence & Earl of Ulster and his wife Elizabeth de Burgh. The priory does have a remnant tomb of Lionel, Duke of Clarence and Elizabeth, his wife, in the wall on the south side of the choir.
In 2006 e-mails were exchanged between Alton Rogers and the Rector of Clare Priory who advised of its memorial to Joan of England, Elizabeth de Burgh and Lionel of Antwerp.
The memorial reads: Pray for the ancestors of King Richard II and Queen Anne Neville. Buried at Clare Priory Joan of Acre Countess of Gloucester and Hereford d.1307, Elizabeth de Burgh Duchess of Clarence and Countess of Ulster 1332-1363, Lionel of Antwerp Duke of Clarence and Earl of Ulster 1338-1368
