==Biography== [[File:Louis Clemence1315.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Louis being crowned with his second wife, [[Clementia of Hungary]].]] Louis was born in Paris, the eldest son of [[Philip IV of France]] and [[Joan I of Navarre]].{{sfn|Woodacre|2013|p=xix}} He inherited the [[King of Navarre|kingdom of Navarre]] on the death of his mother, on 4 April 1305, and was crowned on 1 October 1307.{{sfn|Lucas|1946|p=79}} On 21 September 1305, at age 15, he married [[Margaret of Burgundy, Queen of France|Margaret of Burgundy]] and they had a daughter, [[Joan II of Navarre|Joan]].{{sfn|Woodacre|2013|p=xix}} Louis was known as "the Quarreler",{{sfn|Konta|1914|p=521}} "the Quarrelsome",{{sfn|Falconieri|2009|p=12}} as the result of the tensions prevailing throughout his reigns. Both Louis and Margaret became involved in the [[Tour de Nesle affair]] towards the end of Philip's reign. In 1314, Margaret, [[Blanche of Burgundy|Blanche]] and [[Joan II, Countess of Burgundy|Joan]] — the latter two being the wives of Louis' brothers [[Charles IV of France|Charles]] and [[Philip V of France|Philip]], respectively — were arrested on charges of infidelity.{{sfn|Bradbury|2007|p=277}} Margaret and Blanche were both tried before the French [[parlement]] later that year and found guilty. Their alleged lovers were executed, and the women had their hair shorn and were sentenced to life imprisonment.{{sfn|Bradbury|2007|p=277}} Philip stood by his wife Joan, who was ultimately found innocent and released. Margaret would be imprisoned at Chateau Gaillard in Normandy.{{sfn|Bradbury|2007|p=277}} On the death of his father in 1314, Louis became King of France. Margaret of Burgundy would not be released from imprisonment or crowned, but as his wife, she technically became Queen of France. Without an incumbent pope, Louis could not annul his marriage. The imprisoned Queen of France died on 14 August 1315 and Louis remarried five days later, on 19 August to [[Clémence of Hungary]],{{sfn|Woodacre|2013|p=xix}} the daughter of [[Charles Martel of Anjou]] and the niece of Louis' own uncle and close advisor, [[Charles of Valois]]. Louis and Clémence were [[coronation of the French monarch|crowned]] at [[Reims]] in August 1315.{{sfn|Jordan|2005|p=64}}
