Bonne Of Bohemia
Bonne of Luxemburg, Duchess of Normandy, Countess of Anjou and of Maine (20 May 1315 – 11 September 1349), was born Jutta (Judith), the daughter of John the Blind of Luxemburg, king of Bohemia and his first wife Elisabeth of Bohemia. She was the first wife of King John II of France; however, as her death occurred a year prior to his coronation, she was never a French queen consort. Jutta was referred to in French historiography as Bonne de Luxembourg. She was a member of the House of Luxembourg. King Charles V of France, and Joan of Valois, Queen of Navarre, were two of her ten children.
