Beatrice of England (25 June 1242 – 24 March 1275) was a daughter of Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence.
She was a younger sister of Edward I of England and an older sister of Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster.
King Håkon Håkonsson of Norway in the 1250s tried to obtain Beatrice as a wife for his son Magnus, but his advances were politely rejected by king Henry, as negotiations for Beatrice's hand were already being conducted with the French king.[1]
On 22 January 1260, Beatrice married John II, Duke of Brittany. They were parents to six children:
- Arthur II, Duke of Brittany
- John de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond
- Pierre, Viscount de Leon
- Marie de Dreux, wife of Guy III of Châtillon
- Blanche de Dreux, wife of Philip of Artois
- Eleonore, Abbess of Fontevrault
She was buried in Greyfriars Church, Greenwich, London.
