Blanche of Artois (1248 – 2 May 1302) was the queen consort of Navarre; after her husband Henry I of Navarre's death, she served as regent from 1274 to 1284 on behalf of her daughter, Joan I. Besides Navarre, she ruled the counties of Brie, Champagne, Troyes et Meaux.
In 1276, she became Countess of Lancaster by marrying into the English royal family.
She was the daughter of Count Robert I of Artois and Matilda of Brabant.
First marriage[edit]
Blanche married Henry I of Navarre (ruled 1270–1274) who died in 1274. This marriage was politically advantageous for Navarre, Blanche having been the niece of King Louis IX of France. Together they had two children:
Theobald - d. 1270 fell from a battlement at the castle of Estella
Joan I of Navarre, who became Queen regnant of Navarre and Queen consort of France
Second marriage[edit]
After Henry's death, Blanche married Edmund Crouchback in 1276, who was an English prince, the younger son of Henry III. Edmund was also a widower, his young wife having died the same year as Blanche's husband.
Edmund and Blanche had three children:
Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster
Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster
John of Lancaster, seigneur of Beaufort (present day Montmorency, Aube, d’Arcis-sur-Aube, canton de Chavanges) and Nogent-l’Artaud (Aisne, arrond. de Château-Thierry, canton de Charly), France.
