| Queen consort of Henry IV of England, and stepmother of Henry V. She married first the Duke of Brittany (1386), by whom she had eight children; after his death (1399), she married Henry IV (1402), leaving her older children in Brittany. After Henry's death in 1413, her situation became difficult, because Brittany, ruled by her eldest son John, was hostile to England. She was falsely accused of witchcraft, and imprisoned for three years. |
