Married Name: de Clare. Married Name: de Monthermer. Born: in 1272 in Saint Jean d'Acre, Palestine, Holy Land -, daughter of Edward I, King of England (3938) and Eleanor, Princess de Castile (3939) - Because of her place of birth, Princess Joan was called Joan of Acre. She was named for her grandmother, Joanna, Queen of Castile. Joan was dark and had an imperious temper. She was left for several years at the court of Castile with her grandparents who worshipped her, and even at a tender age, she seemed to have carried things off with a high hand. In 1277 Joan had been given in betrothal to Prince Hartmann, Son of the King of the Romans at the age of five. Edward, her father, seems to have arranged future marriages for his daughters without really meaning to permit their consummation, but as a device to forward some political aims. It is also clear that he could not bear to part with his dearly beloved daughters. Poor Prince Hartmann went skating one day, and the story is that he fell through the ice and drowned.
