Beatrice de Montfort

Beatrice de Montfort was a countess of Dreux through her marriage to Count Robert IV of Dreux. She was the daughter of John de Montfort, who succeeded his father Amaury de Montfort. Beatrice's family, the Montforts, were associated with an ancient lordship in the \u00cele-de-France region and became prominent in French and English history during the 13th century. The house of Dreux, to which Beatrice belonged through marriage, also furnished dukes of Brittany in the 14th and 15th centuries. The town of Dreux, which gave its name to a medieval family of counts, is located in north-central France.12
