Her mother's name is known only from Joan's obituary in the Tewkesbury Annals, where she is mysteriously called "Regina Clementina" (Queen Clemence). She seems to have spent her childhood in France, as King John had her brought to the Kingdom of England from Normandy for her wedding in December 1203. She and Llywelyn had at least three children together: Gwladus Ddu (1206-1251), married (1) Reginald de Braose and (2) Ralph de Mortimer Elen ferch Llywelyn (1207-1253), married (1) John the Scot, Earl of Chester and (2) Robert de Quincy Dafydd ap Llywelyn (1208-1246) married Isabella de Broase, died at Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn. Some of Llywelyn's other recorded children may also have been Joan's: Susanna, who was sent to England as a hostage in 1228. In April 1226 Joan obtained a papal decree from Pope Honorius III, declaring her legitimate on the basis that her parents had not been married to others at the time of her birth, but without giving her a claim to the English throne. At Easter 1230, William de Braose, Lord of Abergavenny, who was Llywelyn's nominal prisoner at the time, was discovered together with Joan in Llywelyn's bedchamber. William de Braose was hanged in the marshland at the foot of Garth Celyn, the place known since as Gwern y Grog. Joan herself was placed out of public view, under virtual house arrest, for twelve months after the incident. Joan was never called Princess of Wales, but "Lady of Wales". She died at the royal home, Garth Celyn, Aber Garth Celyn, on the north coast of Gwynedd in 1237. Llywelyn's great grief at her death is recorded; he founded a Franciscan Friary on the seashore at Llanfaes, opposite the royal home, in her honour. The Friary was consecrated in 1240, shortly before Llywelyn died. It was closed down in 1537 by Henry VIII of England in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Joan's stone coffin can be seen in Beaumaris parish church, Anglesey.
