Joan of France, Duchess of Berry
Joan of France (French: Jeanne de France, Jeanne de Valois; 23 April 1464 – 4 February 1505), sometimes called Joan the Lame (French: Jeanne la boiteuse), was briefly Queen of France as wife of King Louis XII, in between the death of her brother, King Charles VIII, and the annulment of her marriage. After that, she retired to her domain, where she soon founded the monastic Order of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where she served as abbess. From this Order later sprang the religious congregation of the Apostolic Sisters of the Annunciation, founded in 1787 to teach the children of the poor. She was canonized on 28 May 1950.
