Jeanne de Ponteves Grimaldi was born 1501 in France to Tenneguy de Ponteves (1470-1525) and Jeanne de Villeneuve (1460-1505) and died circa 1523 of unspecified causes. She married Luciano Grimaldi (1481-1523) 25 September 1514 JL in Monaco, Monaco. She married Antoine-Louis de Savoie (c1485-) 1528 JL .
Jeanne de Pontevès-Cabanes (v. 1499 – d. after 25 May 1555), was Lady of Monaco by marriage to Lucien, Lord of Monaco.[1]
She was the daughter of Tanneguy de Pontevès, Lord of Cabanes, and Jeanne de Villeneuve. The marriage took place on 25 September 1514.
In 1523, Lucien was assassinated by his nephew Bartholomew Doria, who stated that he acted to defend the rights of Marie Grimaldi, daughter of Lucien's brother, who was secured the rights to the throne by Claudine, Lady of Monaco, but whom Lucien had forced to renounce her rights.[1] During the murder, Jeanne and her children were taken captive by the murderers to secure their safety, but they were forced to flee Monaco, and her infant son was placed upon the throne.[1] Jeanne was not allowed to take part of the regency government, but her brother-in-law Augustine Grimaldi was instead appointed regent.
She then married Antoine-Louis de Savoie in 1528.[2]

The Grimaldi Family, with few exceptions for enemy occupations, have been primary rulers of Monaco since the 13th Century. Their family ancestry can be easily traced to many of the great noble families of Europe. See Also:
