Beatrice of England

Beatrice of England

(Not to be confused with Princess Beatrice of York)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.

On 22 January, 1260, at the Abbey of Saint Denis, Beatrice married John II, Duke of Brittany. They were parents to seven children:

# Arthur II, Duke of Brittany, born 1262
# Henry of Brittany, born ca 1264 and raised in England; died or killed in 1284 during his uncle Edward I's war in Wales, and buried there at Edward's expense

# Blanche de Dreux, wife of Philip of Artois (1271-1327)
# Eleonore, Abbess of Fontevrault (1274/75-1329)
