Brief Life History

Joan of Valois (c. 1294-7 March 1342) was a Countess consort of Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland, by marriage to William I, Count of Hainaut. She acted as regent of Hainaut and Holland several times during the absence of her spouse, and she also acted as a political mediator.

She was the second eldest daughter of the French prince Charles, Count of Valois, and Margaret, Countess of Anjou and Maine.[1] As the sister of King Philip VI of France and the mother-in-law of King Edward III of England,[2] she was ideally placed to act as mediator between them.[2]

Joan was the second daughter of Count Charles of Valois and his first wife Catherine.[3] In 1299, Joan's mother died, probably in childbirth, and her father married his second wife, Catherine I of Courtenay, Titular Empress of Constantinople, by whom he had four more children. By her father's third marriage with Mahaut of Châtillon, Joan became the half sister of Isabella of Valois and the Empress Blanche of Valois, who married Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

After her husband William I died in 1337, Joan took the veil and entered into Fontenelle Abbey in Maing. The fact that she took the veil did not mean that she retired from the world: she maintained her own chancellery and personal staff, received guests from court and was kept up to day in political affairs.[8]

In 1340, her son-in-law King Edward III dealt her brother King Philip VI a heavy blow by defeating him at sea near Sluys. Edward III then went on to besiege Tournai, but was beset by financial problems. Pope Benedict XII thus asked Joan to mediate. She first went to her brother, whom she had begged for peace. Then she went to her son-in-law, in his tent, and begged him for peace as well. The pleas of their relative Joan, sent by the Pope, allowed the two Kings to sign a truce without loss of face.[9]

In 1345, she also acted as a mediator in a conflict in the city of Tournai
