She was born in Paris . Her younger siblings included Jean De Touraine , Catherine Of Valois and Charles VII Of France . Catherine of Valois later married King Henry V Of England . On 31 October , 1396, when Isabella was eight, she was married to the widower King Richard II Of England , in a move for peace with France. Although the union was political, Richard II and the child Isabella developed a mutual respectful relationship. Isabella was moved to Wallingford Castle for protection while Richard went on a campaign in Ireland . When, on his return to England, Richard II was imprisoned and murdered, Isabella was ordered by new king Henry IV to move out of Windsor and had to settle into a place called Sunninghill. Henry IV did not know what to do with her; he then decided that she should marry his son, the future Henry V Of England , but Isabella put her foot down and utterly refused to have anything to do with the prince. Knowing her husband was dead, she went into mourning and ignored Henry IV's demand; eventually Henry let her go back to France. On 29 June , 1406 , Isabella was married again to her cousin Charles, Duc D'Orléans . Isabella died in childbirth at the age of 23, leaving one daughter. Said daughter Jeanne ( 1409 , Blois – 1432 , Angers ), married John II Of Alençon in 1424 . |
