Notities over Queen Juana of Navarren

accused of inflicting a disease on her husband
During the witch-happy Ren centuries, it didn't matter whetheryou were a
filthy rich heires s or a poor granny who happened tolook cross-eyed at
someone's cattle on a bad day: anyone withXX chromosomes stood a good
chance of a sorcery accusation.No on was safe-- not even th e queen of
England. TakeSpanish-born Joan of Navarre, a sweet-tempered French royal
whoput u p with nine children and numberless tantrumsfrom the dukeof
Brittany, her first husband, onl y to end up nursing "no prizeeither"
Henry IV of England, her second spouse.Joan's marriage t o
thirty-six-year-old widower Henry made herqueen of England in 1403 -- and
instantlyunpopul ar. Youthought the English dumped on Joan of Arc --
this poor Joangottrashed as a money-bru gging Frenchie. True, she'd
brought herown national debt in the form of thousands of Frenc h
regugeesfrom Brittany. (when shemarried Henry, she and her
follwersbecame as popular as t he plague, and wereexpelled by
Brittanypoliticos.)Henry, meanwhile, was busy-busy-busy quell ing
revolts, thenbecame pretty revolting himself, what with a terminal case
ofeczema and hi s grand mal epilepsy. Choking back a retch, QeenJoan
nursed him for ten years until he died . And what thanksdid she
get?Before the kingwas cold, his son Henry V revved up the Hundred
Years' War, which was showingsign of flagging. By 1419, hefelt peppy
enough to hit his step mother witha cockamamiecharge: She'd brought
about itchy twitchy Henry's death throughwitch craft, and practiced the
black arts against him, herstepson.Was this curtains for Joan? Mo r like
vertical bars -- asemi-luxe lockup. Rather than toasting his stepmom on
abonfire, Hen ry watned to flanbe her bank account. That darnedwar of
his was expensive. As the young rul er was fond ofsaying, "If we're
gonna make it last a hundred years, we'regonna need resources !" By
charging the queen with sorcery, hegot to sequestr (hold and use!) the
dowry that Quee n Joan hadbrought to England -- a tidy 10 percent, give
or takea groat,of the entire gross r evenues of his government.So
witchcraft it was.Joan remained a prisoner, treated withthat t
eeth-grinding politeness the English use when they reallyreally dislike
someone, for three ye ars. In 1422, the king feelunexpectedly ill,
repented for his Joan-abuse, and set her free.L uckily he returned her
good before dying. For the next fifteenyears, Joan lived in peacefu l
obscurity at Essex, while theworld outside her gates went for a war
longevity record. Shew as the only English queen to be officially
charged withwitchcraft, and punished for it. Unli ke most accused
witches,she never got a trial -- and afterwards, not even a "Gee,
wegoofed! " notice.
