[[File:Arms of Clemence de Hongrie.svg|thumb|Arms of Clementia as queen consort of
When [[Philip IV of France]] died, his eldest son, [[Louis X of France|Louis I of Navarre]], became King of France. Louis' wife [[Margaret of Burgundy, Queen of France|Margaret]] had been locked up in [[Château Gaillard]] since 1314 after being found guilty of [[adultery]] by King Philip, on the testimony of, amongst others, Louis's sister [[Isabella of France|Isabella]]. Since there had been no formal [[annulment]], Margaret technically became [[queen consort]] when Louis acceded to the throne upon Philip's death, though she was kept locked up. In 1315, the queen died, allegedly strangled or otherwise murdered to clear the way for her husband to remarry. Louis chose Clementia and they married on 19 August 1315; she was crowned queen at [[Reims]] on 24 August.
