On 2 October 1386, Joanna married her first husband, John V, Duke of Brittany. They had nine children:
Her first husband died on 1 November, 1399. She remained a widow for four years and acted as a regent for her son John VI during that time. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, affection developed between Jeanne and Henry Bolingbroke (the future King Henry IV) while he resided at the Bretagne court during his banishment from England. In 1403, Joan became the second wife of Henry IV. They had no children, but she is recorded as having had a good relationship with Henry's children from his first marriage, often taking the side of the future Henry V, "Prince Hal," in his quarrels with his father.
Nevertheless, during the reign of Henry V, she was accused of using witchcraft to try to poison him. She was convicted in 1419 and imprisoned for about four years in Pevensey Castle in Sussex, England. After that she lived quietly at Nottingham Castle, through Henry V's reign and into that of his son, Henry VI. She is buried in Canterbury Cathedral next to Henry IV.
