Marie of Luxembourg, Queen of France

Marie of Luxembourg (1304 – 26 March 1324) was Queen of France and Navarre as the second wife of King Charles IV and I.

On 21 September 1322 in either Paris[2] or Provins[3] Marie married to Charles IV of France following the annulment of his first marriage to the adulterous Blanche of Burgundy.

[1] Blanche had given birth to two children, Philip and Joan, but both of them died young and Charles needed a son and heir to carry on the House of Capet.

On 15 May 1323 Marie was consecrated Queen of France at Sainte-Chapelle by Guillaume de Melum, Archbishop of Sens.

Whilst pregnant again in March 1324, Marie was travelling to Avignon with King Charles to visit the pope when she fell out of the bottom of the coach.
