Joan of Burgundy (French: Jeanne; c. 1293 – 12 December 1349), also known as Joan the Lame (French: Jeanne la Boiteuse), was Queen of France as the first wife of King Philip VI. Joan ruled as regent while her husband fought on military campaigns during the Hundred Years' War during the years 1340, 1345–1346 and 1347. Her son John succeeded as king in 1350. She is the matriarch of the House of Valois, which ruled France from the beginning of her husband's reign in 1328 until 1589.
Joan was given significant power by Philip VI to rule as he left to fight in the Hundred Years’ War. Joan had the power of a co-ruler which gained her infamy for her use of judicial power, giving her Lame attached to her title. Joan, not being of royal blood, held significant power thanks to Philip VI. She is known for her influence in supporting learning going beyond just the elite which began in Philip IV’s reign.
