description Clemence, the daughter of Charles Martell of Anjou and Clemence of Habsburg, was born in Naples and became the wife of King Louis X of France in 1315. She was widowed the following year, and before her death in 1328, she witnessed the extinction of the male line of the Capetian dynasty.
