Joan of France

Duchess of Berry

1464 CE to 1505 CE

Joan of France (French: Jeanne de France, Jeanne de Valois; (April 23, 1464 – February 4, 1505), is briefly Queen of France as the wife of King Louis XII, in between the death of her brother, King Charles VIII, and the annulment of her marriage.

After this, she retires to her domain, where she soon founds the monastic Order of the Sisters of the Annunciation of Mary.

From this Order later springs the religious congregation of the Apostolic Sisters of the Annunciation, founded in 1787 to teach the children of the poor.

She is canonized on May 28, 1950 and is known in the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Joan of Valois, O.Ann.M..
