Notes
- Joan is known by several names, which may be confusing to some readers. She is commonly reported as Joan of Pontieu, but her name may be given in the French form, Jeanne of Ponthieu. The Dutch form is Johanna. "Eleanor was born in Castile, Spain, daughter of Saint Ferdinand, King of Castile and Leon and his second wife, Jeanne, Countess of Ponthieu"
-- Wikipedia, "Eleanor of Castile," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Castile
She is also identified with her place of birth Dammartin, as in her surname on the memorial on Find a Grave.

Her daughter, the English queen Eleanor of Castile, was her successor in Ponthieu.

Joan was the eldest daughter of Simon of Dammartin, Count of Ponthieu (1180- 21 September 1239) and his wife Marie of Ponthieu, Countess of Montreuil (17 April 1199- 1251). Her paternal grandparents were Alberic II, Count de Dammartin and Mahaut de Clermont, daughter of Renaud de Clermont, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, and Clémence de Bar.
