{{Person|image1 = 30255E67-EB84-4088-B2FC-8DD79C5E80EE.png}}'''Charles II''' (10 October 1332 â 1 January 1387), called '''Charles the Bad''', was King of Navarre1349â1387 and Count of Ăvreux 1343â1387. Besides the Pyrenean Kingdom of Navarre, he had extensive lands in Normandy, inherited from his father, Count Philip of Ăvreux, and his mother, Queen Joan II of Navarre, who had received them as compensation for resigning her claims to France, Champagne, and Brie in 1328. Thus, in Northern France, Charles possessed Ăvreux, Mortain, parts of Vexin, and a portion of Cotentin. He was a major player at a critical juncture in the Hundred Years' War between France and England, repeatedly switching sides in order to further his own agenda. His horrific death by burning was widely considered God's justice upon him.
