<b>MORE INFO FROM GENEALOGICS:</b>
In 1399 King Henry IV of England had visited Jeanne de Navarre at the Breton court, and they must have come to some agreement regarding their future once her son came of age. She requested the pope's dispensation to marry anyone of her choice within the fourth degree of consanguinity, and on 20 March 1402 this was granted.
After a proxy marriage, she and Henry married in person on 7 February 1403 in Winchester Cathedral. She was thirty-five when this second marriage took place, and Henry IV about thirty-seven, and no more children were born. This was one of the reasons why people connected her name with witchcraft. Only ten years later Henry IV died and she was a widow again.
