Jacquetta of Luxembourg Biography: Jacquetta was the oldest child of her parents’ nine children; her uncle Louis, later to be a Bishop, was an ally of England’s King Henry VI in his claim to the crown of France. She probably lived in Brienne in her childhood, though little record of that part of her life survives.
The Luxembourg side of her family claimed legendary descent from the water deity, Melusine, through their ancestor, Siegfried of Luxembourg. Very little is known about Jacquetta’s childhood. On 22 April 1433 at the age of seventeen, she married John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford.
Jacquetta's family descended from the house of Luxembourg and formed part of the high nobility that ruled these Burgundian territories. Her father was Pierre I of Luxembourg (1390-1433), Count of St Pol, Conversano (Naples) and Brienne (France), Lord of Enghien and Viscount of Lille, and her mother was Marguerite
