172 THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND. with the queen to England died soon after they were married, as was supposed by poison. Joanna's third son, named Jules, died in England in 141 2, and Richard, Count d'Estampes, sur- vived his mother only one year. Queen Joanna had no children by her second marriage. She was interred in Canterbury Cathedral, near the king, whom she survived twenty-five years. A superb altar tomb had been raised over the remains of her husband by Joanna, and upon this, side by side, the effigies of Henry the Fourth and his queen repose. The portrait of this queen gives us the idea of a very beau- tiful woman. She is represented as majestic and graceful, and her attitude that of easy dignity. Her head was very high and broad upwards ; her throat long and delicate, and her arms slender and rounded. Her features have been described as small, yet regular, with very long eyes and eyebrows ; a peculiar expression of acuteness, or intelligence, pervades the whole countenance, and it is impossible to discover in those sweet traits anything which could authorize the charges of witchcraft against her. Her enemies might be supposed envious of or troubled by those bewitching smiles, which ever cast a radiance around her.
