Biography

Catherine was born in Paris on 4 February 1378. Her mother died during childbirth, which deeply upset her father, who died two years later.

Catherine was married to the infant John of Berry in 1386, at the age of eight. They had no children because of the couple's young age. Catherine died in childhood, like many of her siblings. Her brother, Charles succeeded to the throne of France in 1380, Catherine was only two years old. She died in November 1388.
