Bonne of Bohemia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonne of Luxemburg (also Bona) (May 20, 1315 – September 11, 1349), was born Jutta, the daughter of John the Blind of Luxemburg, king of Bohemia and his first wife Elisabeth of Bohemia. Jutta was referred to in French historiography as Bonne de Luxembourg. Jutta was the eldest sister of the future Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who was crowned such six years after Jutta's death in 1349.
Jutta was married to the future John II of France on July 28, 1332 in Melun. She was 17 years old, and the future king was 13. The name for Jutta (or Guta) translatable into English as Good (in the feminine case), was changed by the time of marriage to Bonne (French) or Bona (Latin). Upon marriage Bonne was the wife of the heir to the French throne, becoming Duchess of Normandy and Countess of Anjou and of Maine.
Their children were:
- 1) Charles V of France (January 21, 1338 - September 16, 1380)

- 4) Philip II, Duke of Burgundy (January 17, 1342 - April 27, 1404)
- 5) Jeanne de Valois, Queen of Navarre. Queen consort of Charles II of Navarre (June 24, 1343 - November 3, 1373)
- 6) Marie (September 12, 1344 - October, 1404)
- 7) Agnès of Valois (1345 - 1349)
- 8) Marguerite (1347 - 1352)
- 9) Isabelle (October 1, 1348 - September 11, 1372)
She died in 1349 of the bubonic plague in Maubisson, France. This was one year and fifteen days prior to the coronation of her husband as King, John II of France.
