- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Joan of Acre (May 1271 - April 7, 1307) was a daughter of King Edward I of England and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile.
Joan got her name from her birthplace, Akko (Acre), Hazofan, Palestine. It differentiates her from an earlier Joan born to the couple, who died in infancy. Joan of Acre was born while her parents were traveling to the Middle East on the Seventh Crusade. She was betrothed as a child to Hartman, son of the King of Germany, but he died in 1282 after drowning in the Rhine.
In 1290, at Westminster Abbey, Joan married Gilbert de Clare, 3rd Earl of Gloucester. He was nearly thirty years her senior. Their four children were:
Gilbert de Clare, 8th Earl of Hertford, 4th Earl of Gloucester
Eleanor de Clare
Margaret de Clare
Elizabeth de Clare
Following her husband's death in 1295, Joan clandestinely married Ralph, 1st Baron Monthermer, a knight in her household, in 1297. Her father, King Edward I, was enraged by this lowly second marriage, especially since he was arranging a marriage for her to an Italian nobleman. He had Monthermer thrown in prison, and Joan had to plead for the release of her husband. According to the St. Albans chronicler, she told her father, "No one sees anything wrong if a great earl marries a poor and lowly woman. Why should there be anything wrong if a countess marries a young and promising man?" At last her father relented, released Monthermer from prison, and allowed him to hold the title of Earl of Gloucester and Hereford during Joan's lifetime. Ralph and Joan had four children:
Mary de Monthermer, born October 1297. In 1306 her grandfather King Edward I arranged for her to wed Duncan Macduff, 8th Earl of Fife.
Joan de Monthermer, born 1299, became a nun at Amesbury.
Thomas de Monthermer, 2nd Baron Monthermer, born 1301.
Edward de Monthermer, born 1304.
She died in childbirth in 1307 at the manor of Clare in Suffolk, England, a family possession, and was buried there. Her child was stillborn.
