Daughter of Louis X, king of France and Navarre and Marguerite of Burgundy, Jeanne was born on 28 November 1311 in Conflans St.Honorine. After the successive deaths of her mother in 1315, then of her father in 1316 and her seven days old half-brother Jean I, king of France also in 1316, she was deprived of her rights to the crown of France under the pretext of illegitimacy (which was contestable) and of her indisputable rights to the crown of Navarre.
In 1328 her rights to the crown of Navarre were recognised by the new king Philippe VI, after the deaths of her two uncles Philippe V in 1322 and Charles IV in 1328, both kings of France, in exchange for her renunciation of any rights to the crown of France and her surrender of the counties of Champagne and Brie to the crown. In exchange she received the counties of Angoulême and Mortain. In further negotiations she gained part of Cotentin. She was not long in exchanging the county of Angoulême for territories in the Vexin area: Pontoise, Beaumont-sur-Oise and Asnière-sur-Oise.
