BEATRICE OF ENGLAND
'Beatrice of England' (25 June, 1242 – 24 March, 1275) was a daughter of Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence.
She was a younger sister of Edward I of England and an older sister of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster.
King Håkon Håkonsson of Norway in the 1250s tried to obtain Beatrice as a wife for his son Magnus, but his advances were politely rejected by king Henry, as negotiations for Beatrice's hand were already being conducted with the French king.[1]
On 22 January, 1260, at the Abbey of Saint Denis, Beatrice married John II, Duke of Brittany. They were parents to six children:
# Arthur II, Duke of Brittany
# John de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond
# Marie de Dreux, wife of Guy III of Châtillon (1268-1339)
# Pierre, Viscount de Leon (1269-1312)
# Blanche de Dreux, wife of Philip of Artois (1271-1327)
# Eleonore, Abbess of Fontevrault (1274-1329)
She was buried in Greyfriars Church, Greenwich, London.
