Beatrice of Navarre (1392-1412/1415) was a daughter of Charles III of Navarre and his wife Eleanor of Castile.

Biography

She was a member of the House of Évreux. Her surviving siblings were Blanche I of Navarre, wife of John II of Aragon, and Isabella of Navarre, wife of John IV of Armagnac.

Beatrice married in 1406 in Pamplona James II, Count of La Marche, son of John I, Count of La Marche and Catherine of Vendôme. The couple had three children:

  • Isabelle (1408 – aft. 1445), a nun at Besançon
  • Marie (1410 – aft. 1445), a nun at Amiens
  • Eleanor of Bourbon-La Marche (1412 – aft. August 21, 1464), married Bernard d'Armagnac, Count of Pardiac (d. 1462)

    • It is not certain when Beatrice died. She died between 1412 and 1415, possibly while giving birth to her daughter, Eleanor in 1412.
