Joan of Évreux (French: Jeanne d'Évreux; 1310 – 4 March 1371) was Queen of France and Navarre as the third wife of King Charles IV and I. She was the daughter of his uncle Louis, Count of Évreux and Margaret of Artois. The royal couple's lack of sons caused the end of the direct line of the Capetian dynasty. Because she was Charles's first cousin, the couple required papal permission to marry, which they obtained from Pope John XXII. They had three daughters, Jeanne, Marie and Blanche, who were unable to inherit the throne under principles of Salic law.
