Joan was the eldest daughter of King
Philip V of France and Countess
Joan II of Burgundy. She was married in 1318 to
Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy, as part of a settlement between the two men regarding the French succession (Odo had previously supported the right of his niece - and Joan's cousin - Queen
Joan II of Navarre, to inherit the French throne as well); Joan thus became Duchess consort of Burgundy by marriage. In 1330, Joan became reigning Countess of Burgundy and
Artois in her own right, following the death of her mother. Her son Philip predeceased her; her titles therefore passed to her grandson,
Philip I of Burgundy upon her death in 1347. ==Issue==
