Biography
Early life
Marie was born on 14 October 1404 as the eldest daughter of Louis II of Anjou and Yolande of Aragon, was betrothed to her second cousin Charles, Dauphin to the French throne, in 1413. Despite challenges, their marriage occurred on 18 December 1422 in Bourges, making Marie Queen of France, although she was never crowned.[1]
Reign
During the escalating efforts of the Hundred Years' War, Marie's family began funding Charles and his military.[1] On 9 March 1429, the Maid of Lorraine Jeanne d'Arc dictated a letter to her step-cousin and affectionately named "Witness", Gabriel Laxart. In the letter Jeanne explained she was to meet Queen Yolande, the mother of the Dauphin's wife, to ascertain whether or not she was the fabled saviour of Orléans.[2]
Later life
After giving birth to fourteen children with Charles, her husband died in July 1461. Marie then became queen dowager, with her son Louis XI succeeding as king. During the winter of 1462-1463, she made a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Marie died on 29 November 1463, upon returning from her pilgrimage, and was buried alongside her spouse in the basilica of Saint-Denis.[1]
