Biography of Joan Valois Queen Consort Navarre 1343-1373
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 1102. And the Archbishop Anselm (age 69) held a synod of clergy; and there they established many canons that belong to Christianity. And many, both French and English, were there deprived of their staves and dignity, which they either obtained with injustice, or enjoyed with dishonour. And in this same year, in the week of the feast of Pentecost, there came thieves, some from Auvergne133, some from France, and some from Flanders, and broke into the minster of Peterborough [Map], and therein seized much property in gold and in silver; namely, roods, and chalices, and candlesticks.
Note 133. "Auvergne" at that time was an independent province, and formed no part of France. About the middle of the fourteenth century we find [her step-mother] Jane, Countess of Auvergne and Boulogne, and Queen of France, assisting in the dedication of the church of the Carmelites at Paris, together with Queen Jeanne d'Evreux, third wife and widow of Charles IV., [her future sister-in-law] Blanche of Navarre, widow of Philip VI., and Jeanne de France, Queen of Navarre.-Felib.
