Joan of Valois was technically Queen of France, but was never crowned or acknowledge as Queen by her husband.When her husband became King Louis XII of France he was so desperate to keep hold of the Duchy of Brittany that he decided to marry Anne of Brittany. Problem was, he was married to Joan. She was not happy about this, and was even less happy when he claimed their marriage was unconsummated because he was physically repulsed by her :(You can read more about Joan and the fight for her marriage at creativehistorian.co.uk. -- source link
