Blanche is the second daughter of Charles II of Navarre and Éléonore (+ 1416), daughter of King Henry II of Castile. Her eldest sister, Jeanne, who had married the Count of Foix in 1402, died in 1416. In 1409, Blanche married King Martin I of Sicily, who died in 1409. She remarried King Jean II of Aragon.
