 Edward I Plantagenet, King of England 1) 2) 3) 4) 5)Born 17 Jun 1239 Died 7 Jul 1307, 68 years Married/ Related to:  Eleanor of CastileDaughter of Ferdinand III of Castile, King of Léon, Galicia, Castile and Toledo and Joan of Ponthieu, Countess of Ponthieu. Born 1241 Died 28 Nov 1290, 48 or 49 years Children: 1. Joan of AcreBorn ± May 1271 Acre, Kingdom of Acre 6) Died 19 Apr 1307, approximately 35 years 7) Buried ± 23 Apr 1307 Priory Church, Clare, Suffolk, England 8) Notes: Joan of Acre was born in Acre while her parents were there on Crusade. She spent her early years living with her grandmother, Joan of Ponthieu, in France, before being brought to England, aged 5, when a suitable marriage was identified. Her first proposed husband, Hartman of Germany pre-deceased their marriage. She thus married Gilbert de Clare, thirty years her senior. Following his death, she re-married to Ralph de Monthermer in secret, a squire in her father's household. While her father initially opposed the marriage, he would eventually mellow. Joan's IPM evidences that she was the mother of Gilbert's oldest son, Gilbert. While no document directly identifying Joan as mother of Margaret and Eleanor has been identified, there is no reason to suspect otherwise - both are legitimate children of Gilbert, and Joan outlived Gilbert. | |||
