Biography

There are records for the second or third confinement of Eleanor of Castile in December 1264 and she was churched in early February 1265, so the child was likely born in January 1265.[1]

There is also mention of Henry III paying for medicines for domina Alianora on 25 January 1265, which has been interpreted as being for his wife, Eleanor of Provence, but this is more likely to be Eleanor of Castile, given she isn't referred to as regina.[1]

This child is almost certainly the daughter Joan (Johanne, filie Edwardi, primogeniti regis) who died before 7 September 1265 and was buried in Westminster Abbey. There is a record of Henry III ordering a cloth of gold for her tomb dated 7 September 1265.[2]

Research Notes

John Carmi Parsons originally published his work on children of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile in his PhD thesis, which I have seen but need to find the details again. It was also published in a journal, which was inaccessible.

He also cites primary sources which don't appear to be available in full-text online. The Calendar of Liberate Rolls, volume 5, p. 150 & 160 refers to the confinement and churching of Elearnor of Castile. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Calendar_of_the_Liberate_Rolls_Preserved_in_the_Public_Record_Office

The section about medicines comes from (G.R. Trease, "The Spicers and Apothecaries of the Royal Households in the Reigns of Henry III, Edward I and Edward II," _Nottingham Medieval Studies_, vol. 3 [1959], pp. 40-41)

Hi Jim, this information again isn't for this profile it refers to a Joan, the illegitimate daughter of King John.

Also information from Geni, isn't considered a reliable source for pre-1500 profiles. Although this example does cite some sources, when updating pre-1500 profiles we should be citing primary sources or at least secondary sources that cite primary sources, which Geni doesn't do.

Hello Jim, thank you, for the information. The sources for this information and that which you posted below refer to Joan (Plantagenet) Toulouse. If you post them on her profile that would be great. Thanks, Laura

Princess of England, Queen of Sicily, Countess of Toulouse, youngest daughter of Henry II. and Eleanor of Aquitaine. She married the 12 years older William II. 'the Good' of Sicily on Feb. 13 1177. William died childless in 1189 and was succeeded by Tancred of Lecce who treated her badly and held her prisoner for a while. Her brother Richard stayed in Sicily for a few months on his way to the holy land during the third crusade. He was later joined by mother who brought his bride Berengaria of Navarra with her. Tancred, who already fought against Heinrich VI. handed her over because he couldn't risk to have another enemy.A few days after her brothers departure from Sicily she went with Berengaria on board a ship that was supposed to bring them to Akko. After a storm they stranded in Cyprus where they where taken prisoners by Byzantine Emperor Isaac II. Angelus. Richard's troops conquered Cyprus after three weeks and they where able to continue their travel. They stayed in Akko during the whole Crusade. During the peace negotiations with Saladin, Richard suggested to marry Joan with Saladins brother Malik al-Adil and give them the Kingdom of Jerusalem to rule. This suggestion was soon dropped again. After the crusade she and Berengaria went to Rome where they stayed until after Richards release from his imprisonment. In Oct. 1196 Joan became the fifth wife of Raymond VI. of Toulouse. She gave birth to one son, Raymond VII., in July 1197. In 1199 she stayed in the Castle of Cassès where rebellious barons besieged her. She was already five months pregnant and escaped from the castle to ask her brother for help. It was too late Richard was already dead. In Nioret she met her mother and went with her to Rouen. She suddenly decided to become a nun in the Abbey of Fontevraud and shocked her environment with this revelation. The arch bishop of Canterbury tried to change her decision without success. She traveled to Fontevraud where she gave birth to a son on September 24, 1199, a few minutes later she died in her mothers arms, just five month after her brother. The child only lived a few days. She was buried in the Abbey but the body was never found.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I have a quick question and am curious about any thoughts that Plantagenet-1674 & Plantagenet-1742 may be the same daughter of Edward and Eleanor. The only supporting data/sources for both are essentially identical in description but the only given source for Plantagenet-1674 isn't currently working. However the profile bio describe the only known accounts of (said) child exactly like the supporting sources attached on this profile. The exception being the different birth year. I think this could still be the same since Edward and his wives had multiple children who did not survive infancy. Perhaps the year of birth given on that profile was accidentally written by someone referencing Elleanor's first stillborn daughter dating to when she was only 14 years old? Either way there does seem to be at least a few profiles between the atached named and "Unknown" children of Edward and his wives that could be duplicates. Cheers! Becky Elizabeth

Hello Jim - the England Project would like to co-manage this profile with you to prevent the inadvertent merge with Joan's younger sister (also Joan) which has been proposed before.

I will send you a Trusted List request directly from the England Project account. Please accept it and then set the England Project as Manager from the privacy tab.

Many thanks. Jo (England Project Managed Profiles Team coordinator)

I noticed the profiles Plantagenet-1742 & Plantagenet-181 were rejected but can't find sourcing for Edward I and wife Eleanor / Lenora having more than one daughter named Joan, let alone both with the added moniker Joan de Clare or de Mortimer / Morthimer(sp?)

I'm asking about them because when an action is quickly rejected without a written explanation nor additional sourcing to account for the orginal confusion; the same process will continue when the next member looks for their ancestor and finds two profiles meeting theirs each criterium and so on. I wouldn't have had the confidence to ask this had other members not reached out to me about a lesser post followed by reading similar comments written on other profiles at the time. Thanks for the consideration and patience here. Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Becky Elizabeth

  • Edited after realizing my Memorial Day exhaustion comedy with typing on this small phone made for quite a lengthy, visually painful (to read comment.

My sincerest apologies

Upon saving, received an automated warning to check the data:
  • A birth date (Plantagenet-1742 born 1 Jan 1265) should not be within eight months of a sibling's birth date (Plantagenet-166 born 17 Jun 1264) unless they are twins born within a day of each other.

Joan's birth in Jan 1265 is from Richardson's Royal Ancestry (see Bettye's comment), which also shows that daughter Katherine died 5 September 1264, but it does not give a birth date (so either 17 Jun 1264 is wrong or Joan was born 2 months early and survived 8 months after the premature birth - I have no idea how likely that is for the place/time, but as the daughter of a King, she would have had the best care possible).

update - just checked Katherine's profile. No source for birth, but it's given as "before" 17 June 1264 (no explanation either).
