Biographie
Reine de France
Fille du duc Pierre 1er de Bourbon, elle nait au château de Vincennes quelques jours après son cousin le futur roi de France, Charles V. Les deux enfants furent baptisés à l'église de Montreuil le même jour.
Par son mariage (8 avril 1350 à Tain-l'Hermitage) avec le futur Charles V (1338-1380), roi de France (1364-1380), elle devint reine de France de 1364 à 1378.
Si Jeanne fut quelque peu délaissée alors qu'elle était encore dauphine (Charles affichait alors sa liaison avec Biette de Casinel), d'où la naissance de sa relation avec Hippolyte de Saint-Alphon, le roi se rangea après son sacre, le 19 mai 1364. Le couple devint alors très uni et le roi s'attacha à Jeanne. Charles V demandait très souvent l’avis de son épouse, aussi bien en politique qu’en matière de lettres et d’art.
Descendance
De son union avec le roi Charles V sont issus neuf enfants :
Décès
Jeanne de Bourbon meurt à la naissance de sa fille Catherine. Froissart dit de cet événement : «La reine étant enceinte, les médecins lui avaient interdit le bain comme contraire et périlleux. Malgré leur opposition, elle voulut se baigner et de là conçu le mal de la mort.»
Charles V s'en montra très affligé. «Elle est ma belle lumière et le soleil de mon royaume» disait-il. Christine de Pisan écrit du deuil royal : «Le roi fut très dolent du trépas de la reine ; malgré sa grande vertu de constance, cette séparation lui causa si grande douleur et dura si longtemps que jamais on ne lui vit pareil deuil : car moult s’aimaient de grande amour.»

Joanna of Bourbon
Joanna of Bourbon (3 February 1338 – 6 February 1378) was consort to Charles V of France.[1]
Born in Vincennes, Joanna was a daughter of Peter I, Duke of Bourbon and Isabella of Valois,[2] a half-sister of Philip VI of France as the daughter of Charles of Valois and his third wife Mahaut of Châtillon.
Family
Joanna gave birth to nine children but only Charles and Louis[2] survived to adulthood.
Joanna's father, Peter was killed while at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, her mother, Isabella died in 1388, having outlived Joanna by ten years.
Biography
Her father, grandfather, and brother were all somewhat mentally unstable, and Joanna 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 (1350, Tain-en-Viennois) were born nine children:
Death and burial
Joanna died in Paris while giving birth to her youngest child, Catherine. According to Froissart, while Joanna was heavily pregnant with Catherine she wished to have a bath but the doctors advised against it because they thought it to be too dangerous. Joanna ignored them and had a bath anyway. Soon after she went into labour and died giving birth. The king was very upset with the death of Joanna and never really was the same after her death. Her heart was buried in the convent of the Cordeliers and her entrails in the Church of the Celestines in Paris. The rest of her remains were then placed in the Basilique Saint-Denis.

. 🌹 Birth of Jeanne de Bourbon ~ wife of Charles V of France 🌹 . 🌹 Jeanne was born on the 3rd of February 1338 at Château de Vincennes, in the town of Vincennes, France. She was the daughter of Pierre I de Bourbon, Duke de Bourbon, and Isabella de Valois. 🌹 Jeanne was betrothed to her 2nd cousin, Dauphin Charles ~ future Charles V of France. After a papal dispensation, they were married on the 8th of April 1350. Born thirteen days apart, they were both 12 years old. When Charles inherited the crown in 1364, Jeanne became Queen of France. In May 1364, she and her husband were crowned by the Archbishop of Reims. 🌹 King Charles V and Queen Jeanne were a happy couple. Nevertheless, at the beginning of their marriage Charles had a mistress – Biette de Cassinel, who was referred to la belle Italienne ~ the beautiful Italian woman. Biette and Charles had a son, Jean de Montagu. 🌹 Jeanne was at first upset with her husband’s infidelities, but when later Charles focused his attentions entirely on his wife, the royal spouses reached an understanding. and found contentment together. Being closely related, they were unlikely to have a large, healthy family. 🌹 Out of their 8 children, 5 died in childhood, with only two boys and one girl surviving infancy. Jeanne and Charles buried many children, but they could not realise that their close blood connection caused their offspring to be sickly. Their eldest son would be the future King Charles VI of France, later known as 'the Beloved' and, sadly, as 'the Mad' after his first onslaught of madness in 1392. 🌹 As an educated woman, Queen Jeanne acted as her husband’s political adviser. At the same time, she willingly remained in the shadow of her husband, while assuming all the responsibilities of her rank ~ running the queen’s household and the court, and raising their children. However, sources describe Queen Jeanne as mentally fragile, and after the birth of her son Louis d’Orléans in 1373, she suffered a complete mental breakdown. 🌹 Jeanne passed away at the Hôtel Saint-Pol in Paris, on the 6th of February 1378, several days after her 40th birthday. She had taken a bath against her physicians’ recommendation, and soon after she went into labour. She died two days after the birth of her youngest child, Catherine. Charles V, who loved his wife, was absolutely devastated. He would join his wife in the afterlife, a little more than two years later. 🌹 Jeanne's heart was buried in the Cordeliers Convent, and her entrails in the Couvent des Célestins. The Couvent des Célestins in Paris was the most important royal necropolis after the Basilica of St. Denis. The rest of Jeanne's remains were then placed at Saint-Denis. https://www.facebook.com/groups/537859523834021 . 🌹 Source~olivialongueville/queen-jeanne-de-bourbon
