View the connection in the Spanish treeLouis of Évreux, a son of Philip III of France, founded the branch. His marriage to Margaret of Artois connected it with another Capetian line. Their son Philip of Évreux married Joanna II, the Navarrese heiress and daughter of Louis X of France.
Philip and Joanna governed Navarre from 1328. Charles II maintained interests on both sides of the Pyrenees; Charles III developed the kingdom’s courtly life and became associated with Olite. The house’s daughters extended its connections: Mary towards Aragon, Agnes towards Foix and Joan towards Brittany and later England.
Blanche I inherited Navarre and married John of Aragon. Their children Charles of Viana, Blanche and Eleanor belonged to the Trastámara dynasty. The Navarrese inheritance later passed through Eleanor to the Foix, continuing the family line through women under a different house name.
