A HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE


CLEMENTIA OF HUNGARY
The Birth of a King
in June 1316 at Vincennes, Val-de-Marne and following a particularly exhausting game, Louis X slept and felt tired and did not proceed to drink the wine he planned originally to drink, his son with Clementia, John of France was born on 15 November 1316, Clementia of Hungary celebrated with her husband, Louis X, he was baptised a few months after his birth, Clementia of Hungary invited her brother, Charles of Hungary, on the baptism the Kings of Navarre, France and England were able to attend.
Louis X died on 1317 which left the Queen and her son John, now John I of France under the custody of Philip of Poiters, at this time the King is playing with the sons of the nobles and enjoyed lavish food, he did not know what is in store for him in the future..
The King was presented and given the best treatment a child could get...but it could get better or more better, later he grew up to be naughty and rebellious as the years go by.
Clementia told John I of France about Italian and Occitan literature, he was very much interested in those and he was given Italian,Hungarian and French tutors summoned by his mother but his mother also gave him Hungarian tutors in order for him to learn how to communicate to his relatives in Hungary, Dante Alighieri was also rumored to have been one of the tutors of John I of France, the Italian tutors of John I called him Giannino while his French teachers from the Occitan area called him Joan which is the Occitan or Catalan equivalent of John, in his native language he is called Jean or Jehan, Philip of Poiters is also visiting him as a regent.
Clementia demanded the custody of her former step daughter, Joan which her guardian, Agnes of France would not allow to happen since Agnes of France has told and justified to Philip of Poiters that Clementia has no connection to Joan of France because her husband, Louis X had already died and she has no connection with Joan anymore, although they are free to visit her anytime they like but Joan did not grow to be close to her own brother because of the anonymity between Joan and Clementia of Hungary because Joan felt that her father’s decision to jail her mother and to replace her was wrong.
