Biography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeanne de Bar, Countess of Marle and Soissons, Dame d'Oisy, Viscountess of Meaux Suo jure, and Countess of Saint-Pol, of Brienne, de Ligny, and Conversano (1415- 14 May 1462), was a noble French heiress and Sovereign Countess. Shewas the only child of Robert of Bar, Count of Marle and Soissons, Sire d'Oisy, who was killed at the Battle of Agincourt when she was a baby, leaving her the sole heiress to his titles and estates. In 1430, at the age of fifteen,Jeanne was one of the three women placed in charge of Joan of Arc when the latter was a prisoner in the castle of John II of Luxembourg, Count of Ligny, Jeanne's stepfather.
She was the first wife of Louis of Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol, of Brienne, de Ligny, and Conversano, Constable of France. From their marriage descended Mary, Queen of Scots, King Henri IV of France and the subsequent Bourbon kings of France.
Family
Jeanne was born in 1415, the only child of Robert of Bar, Count of Marle and Soissons, Sire d'Oisy [1](1390- 25 October 1415) and Jeanne de Béthune, Viscountess of Meaux (c.1397- late 1450). Her paternal grandparents were Henry ofBar, Marquis Pont-à-Mousson and Marie de Coucy, Countess of Soissons. Her maternal grandparents were Robert VIII de Béthune, Viscount of Meaux,[2]and Isabelle de Ghistelles, daughter of Jean VII de Ghistelles and Marguerite de Reingleset.[3]Through her paternal grandmother, Jeanne was a descendant of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault - their eldest daughter Isabella being the mother of Marie de Coucy.
On 25 October 1415, her father was killed at the Battle of Agincourt, leaving Jeanne, who was a baby, as sole heiress to her father's titles and estates. In 1418, her mother married secondly John II of Luxembourg, Count of Ligny and de Guise (1392- 5 January 1441), son of John of Luxembourg, Sire de Beauvois and Marguerite of Enghien, Countess of Brienne and of Conversano. The marriage was childless.
It was Jeanne's stepfather John who received Joan of Arc as his prisoner, and kept her at his castle of Beaurevoir. Joan, who was three years Jeanne's senior was placed in the care of Jeanne, her mother and Jeanne of Luxembourg, John's elderly aunt. The three ladies did all they could to comfort Joan in her captivity, and unsuccessfully tried to persuade her to abandon her masculine clothing for feminine attire. They earned Joan's gratitude for their kind and compassionate treatment of her.[4] Despite the pleas of Jeanne and the other two women, John sold Joan of Arc to the English, who were his allies, for 10,000 livres.
Marriage and children
On 16 July 1435, at the age of twenty, Jeanne married Louis of Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol, Brienne, de Ligny, and Conversano, Constable of France (1418- 19 December 1475). The marriage took place at the Chateau de Bohain. She was Louis' first wife. Louis was the eldest son of Peter of Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol, Brienne, and Conversano, by his wife Margaret de Baux. His elder sister was Jacquetta of Luxembourg, mother of Queen consort Elizabeth Woodville, by her second marriage to Richard Woodville, 1st Earl Rivers. Louis had been brought up by his paternal uncle, who was Jeanne's stepfather, John II of Luxembourg, Count of Ligny and Guise; therefore the young couple were well-acquainted with one another. John designated Louis as his heir to the counties of Ligny and Guise, but upon John's death in 1441, King Charles VII of France sequestered the estates and titles. The title of Ligny was eventuallyrestored to Louis. The title and estates of Guise were given to Louis' youngest sister, Isabelle as her dowry, which passed to her husband, Charles, Count of Maine, upon their marriage in 1443.
Jeanne succeeded as Viscountess of Meaux suo jure upon the death of her mother in late 1450.
Jeanne and Louis had seven children:
John of Luxembourg, Count of Marle and Soissons, Governor of Burgundy (killed at the Battle of Morat on 22 June 1476)
Jacqueline of Luxembourg, (died 1511), married Philippe de Croy, 2nd Count of Porcien, by whom she had issue.
Pierre II de Luxembourg, Count of Saint-Pol, of Brienne, de Ligny, Marle and Soissons (1440- 25 October 1482), on 12 July 1466, married Marguerite of Savoy (1439 Turin- 9 March 1483 Bruges), the daughter of Louis, Duke of Savoy and Anne de Lusignan of Cyprus, and widow of Giovanni IV Paleologo, Margrave of Montferrat, by whom he had issue, including Marie de Luxembourg (c.April 1467- 1 April 1547), wife of Francois de Bourbon, Count of Vendome, and from whom Mary, Queen of Scots, King Henri IV of France, the subsequent Bourbon kings of France, and the Lorraine Dukes of Guise were directly descended.
Helene of Luxembourg (died 23 August 1488), married Janus of Savoy, Count of Faucigny, Governor of Nice (1440- 1491), the brother of her sister-in-law, Marguerite of Savoy, by whom she had a daughter, Louise of Savoy (1467- 1 May 1530).
Charles of Luxembourg, Bishop of Laon (1447- 24 November 1509), had several illegitimate children by an unknown mistress.[5]
Antoine of Luxembourg, Count of Brienne, Roussy, and de Ligny (died 1519), married firstly Antoinette de Bauffrémont, Countess de Charny, by whom he had issue; he married secondly, Francoise de Croy, by whom he had issue; he married thirdly Gillette de Coélivy. His last marriage was childless. By his mistress, Peronne de Machefert, he had an illegitimate son, Antoine of Luxembourg, Bastard of Brienne, who married and left descendants.
Philippe of Luxembourg
Jeanne died on 14 May 1462 aged about forty-seven years. Her husband married secondly Marie of Savoy, daughter of Louis, Duke of Savoy and Anne de Lusignan of Cyprus, (20 March 1448- 1475), by whom he had three more children.

Notes on the name of Scarpone

Information on the origin of the name of Scarpone, sometimes used as house name for the Montbéliard and Bar families:

The name "Scarpone" (or Charpeigne[1]) comes from Richwin, count of Scarpone (Scarpone was a city near the current village of Dieulouard, Meurthe-et-Moselle[2][3]). He married Mathilde (von Eguisheim ?) and was the father of Louis de Montbéliard (aka de Scarpone, de Mousson) count of Montbéliard, Altkirch and Pfirt, ancestor of the families of Montbéliard and Bar[4][5]. However the filiation is not certain and other origins of Louis de Mousson are possible[6].

Both named sources are pointing to a person with different parents, in fact the same person as wikitree's De_Bar-45, but the right husband. The 2 named sources agree. I will connect De_Bar-45 to the same husband and children, and disconnect this one.
