WI: Edward III marries Joan of Navarre

If Edward III marries Joan of Navarre, a claimant of the French throne instead of his OTL Wife, would his claim to the French throne be strengthened?
 
Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt his claims...the crown of Navarre brought with it Champagne and various other fiefs that would further enlarge the Angevin Empire. That said, he'd miss out on the Low Countries' connections Philippa brought him.
