Philip Iii Of Navarre




Philip III of Navarre (also known as '''Philip of Évreux''') ( 1301September 16 , 1343 ), ''Philippe, comte d'Évreux'' in French , was the elder son of Louis , Count of Évreux ( 12761319 ), and Marguerite D’Artois ( 12851311 ), and therefore a grandson of King Philip III Of France . Because of this descent, he was a possible heir to the throne of France.

In due course, he inherited the County of Évreux, in Normandy , from his father (1319), and ten years later he became Philip III, King Consort of Navarre , by virtue of his marriage to Queen Joan II Of Navarre . She held extensive fiefdoms in northern France, as well as Navarre. Because of their lands and their many royal relatives, Philip and his wife were influential in both France and Navarre. They produced 8 children.

While taking part in the Reconquista in 1343 , he was mortally wounded and died in Jerez De La Frontera .
