In otl Edward the Black Prince married Joan of Kent. What would be some other great alternatives? This is for an idea for a timeline, inspired by a recent thread.
I'd suggest one of the daughters of John II of France
When might such a marriage occur?
Well there are three to choose from:I'd suggest one of the daughters of John II of France
I don't think Joan of Kent was that bad, but for alternative wives there are:
- Maria of Calabria, daughter of posthumous child of Charles, Duke of Calabria (eldest son of King Robert the Wise of Naples), and Marie of Valois (sister of King Philip VI of France). She is the younger sister of future Queen Joanna I of Naples.
- Blanche or Agnes of Navarre, daughter of Joan II of Navarre and Philip III of Navarre. Born 1330 and 1334.
- Elizabeth de Burgh, Duchess of Clarence, suo jure 4th Countess of Ulster and 5th Baroness of Connaught, the only child of William Donn de Burgh, 3rd Earl of Ulster. Born 1332, who in OTL, married Edward's brother.
- Margaret of Bohemia, daughter of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor by his first wife Blanche of Valois. Born 1335.
- Elisabeth of Meissen, daughter of Frederick II, Margrave of Meissen and Mathilde of Bavaria. Born 1329.
- Eleanor of Aragon, a member of the House of Barcelona as the daughter of Peter of Aragon and his wife Joan of Foix. Born 1333.
Any of the daughters of Peter I, Duke of Bourbon and Isabella of Valois:
- Joanna (Born 1338)
- Blanche (Born 1339)
- Bonne (Born 1341)
- Catherine (Born 1342)
- Margaret (Born 1344)
- Isabella (Born 1347)
- Joan I of Auvergne, daughter of William XII, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne. Born 1326, in 1338 she married Philip of Burgundy, grandson of King Philip V of France. When he died in 1346, she was left widowed with a son, until she married John II of France, four years later.
Well there are three to choose from:
- Joan (24 June 1343)
- Marie (12 September 1344)
- Isabelle (1 October 1348)
