23 famous people were born in Joinville, more of them leaders than in most towns

Charles de Lorraine (French Catholic cardinal of the House of Guise (1524-1574)) is the best known by our measure: 22 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Charles Ier de Lorraine and Claude II de Lorraine.

23 people born in Joinville have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 34 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, leaders: 11 of the 23. That is 48% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Charles de Lorraine, born in 1524. The youngest on the list was born in 1958.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Joinville itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
