Joan of Bar, Countess of Surrey
Joan of Bar (died 1361) was a French-English noble.
She acted as regent of the County of Bar from 1344 until 1353.
She was a daughter of Henry III, Count of Bar and Eleanor of England, and niece of Edward II of England.
She was unhappily married to John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey.
In 1345, Joan became the regent of Bar for her great-nephew Robert.
Theobald II, Count of Bar
Theobald II( 1221 – October 1291) was a count of Bar.
He was the son of Henry II of Bar and Philippa of Dreux.
He became count of Bar when his father was killed during the Barons' Crusade in 1239, but news of Henry's death did not reached him until 1240.
As Theobald was still a minor, his mother ruled as regent until 17 March 1242.
Theobald's own children included his successor Henry III and the bishop Reginald of Bar.
Margaret of Bar
Margaret of Bar( 1220–1275) was a daughter of Henry II of Bar and his wife Philippa of Dreux.
She was Countess of Luxembourg by her marriage to Henry V of Luxembourg.
She is also known as" Marguerite of Bar".
Eleanor of England, Countess of Bar
Eleanor of England (18 June 1269 – 29 August 1298) was an English princess, the eldest surviving daughter of King Edward I of England and his first wife, Queen Eleanor of Castile.
What evidence exists for Eleanor's early years suggests that while her parents were absent on Crusade between 1270 and 1274, she became very close to her paternal grandmother, Eleanor of Provence, with whom she continued to spend a good deal of time.
She was also close to her sickly brother Henry.
On one Pentecost Eve, Henry and Eleanor were given two partridges for their dinner, for a special treat.
For a long period Eleanor was betrothed to King Alfonso III of Aragon.
Alfonso's parents were under papal interdict, however, because of their claims to the throne of Sicily, which were contrary to the papal donation of the Sicilian throne to Charles I of Naples, and despite the Aragonese ruler's repeated pleas that Edward I send his daughter to them for marriage, Edward refused to send her as long as the interdict remained in place.
In 1282 he declined one such request by saying that his wife and mother felt the girl, who had just turned 13, was too young to be married, and that they wanted to wait another two years before sending her to Aragon.
Alfonso died before the marriage could take place.
Eleanor subsequently married the French nobleman, Henry III, Count of Bar on September 20, 1293, and had two children:
According to Kenneth Panton, Eleanor is credited with a daughter called Eleanor (b.1285), who supposedly married a Welshman named Llywelyn ap Owain.
She died at Ghent on 29 August 1298.
Eleanor was buried in Westminster Abbey but the location of her grave in the Abbey is unknown.
Robert, Duke of Bar
Robert I of Bar (8 November 1344 – 12 April 1411) was Marquis of Pont-à-Mousson and Count and then Duke of Bar.
He succeeded his elder brother Edward II of Bar as count in 1352.
His parents were Henry IV of Bar and Yolande of Flanders.
When Robert was less than a year old, his father died and his elder brother, Edward II of Bar, became Count of Bar under their mother's regency.
As neither Robert nor Edward had a strong constitution, Yolande obtained a papal dispensation from Clement VI to allow them to eat meat during periods of abstinence.
When his brother Edward died, Robert was still only seven years old and political problems associated with his mother's continued position as regent had arisen.
Yolande was on the point of remarrying to Philip of Navarre, count of Longueville, a member of the Navarre family which was attempting to claim the French crown from John the Good.
Joan of Bar, Robert's grandaunt, made known to the king that she was ready to replace Yolande and assume the regency.
The Parliament of Paris, by decree of 5 June 1352, declared that the county was under the king's control.
John the Good then entrusted the regency to Joan on 27 July of that year.
Yolande initially renounced the regency, but then went back on her decision, levying troops to fight Joan.
John the Good intervened to force Yolande to renounce the regency again on 2 July 1353.
In 1354 the County of Bar was raised to the status of duchy by King John the Good.
That same year another possession, Pont-à-Mousson, was raised to a marquisate by Emperor Charles IV.
Subsequent emperors recognised Robert's ducal title and his state's right to a vote in the Imperial Diet.
It is unclear if Robert was regarded as a Peer of France after becoming duke.
The defeat of Poitiers and the capture of John the Good in 1356 deprived Joan of John's support and Yolande retook the regency.
Robert was knighted in December 1356 and declared of age on 8 November 1359.
He assisted at the coronation of Charles V of France at Reims on 9 May 1364, then at that of Charles VI of France on 4 November 1380.
During Charles V's reign he fought in several engagements in 1374 during the campaign to eject the English from Normandy.
In 1401, Robert ceded his duchy to his son Edward, but reserved the usufruct on it, bypassing his grandson Robert (son of Henry of Bar).
The younger Robert unsuccessfully opposed this in the parliament of Paris that ran from 1406 to 1409.
Charles VI's madness put him under the control of the Duke of Orleans and Duke of Burgundy.
The elder Robert supported the duke of Orleans, and after that duke's assassination was more and more inclined to remain within his duchy.
In his later years he suffered from attacks of gout that prevented him from walking.
Henry IV, Count of Bar
Henry IV of Bar( abt 1315 – 1344) was count of Bar from 1336 to 1344.
His aunt, Joan of Bar, Countess of Surrey, governed Bar in his name during his minority.
He was the son of Edward I of Bar and his wife Marie of Burgundy.
He married Yolande of Dampierre( died 1395), a granddaughter of Robert III, Count of Flanders.
Henry and Yolande had two sons:
Edward II, Count of Bar
Edward II of Bar( 1339 – May 1352) was Henry IV of Bar's eldest son and successor as count of Bar( with Edward's mother Yolande of Flanders ruling as count during his minority, which ended on 10 October 1349).
He had no male issue and was succeeded as count by his younger brother Robert I of Bar.
Robert le Maçon
Robert le Maçon( c. 1365 – 28 January 1443) was chancellor of France, advisor to Charles VII and supporter of Joan of Arc.
Jean Pasquerel
Jean Pasquerel( c. 1400) was an Augustinian friar( member of the Order of St. Augustine), almoner and confessor of Joan of Arc.
Theobald (bishop of Liège)
Theobald of Bar( Thibaut of Bar, Thiébaut de Bar) was the third surviving son of Theobald II of Bar and Jeanne de Toucy.
He was prince- bishop of Liège from 1302 until his death in 1312, while serving in the retinue of Henri VII of Luxembourg.
