Beatrice was part of the important House of Évreux, a noble family. She had two sisters who survived to adulthood: Blanche I of Navarre and Isabella of Navarre. Blanche later became the Queen of Navarre.
In 1406, Beatrice married James II, Count of La Marche. The wedding took place in Pamplona, which was the capital city of Navarre. James was a French nobleman.
Beatrice and James had three daughters:
- Isabelle (born 1408) became a nun in a religious community in Besançon.
- Marie (born 1410) also became a nun, joining a community in Amiens.
