Isabelle was born in Lille , the daughter of Baldwin V, Count Of Hainaut and Countess Margaret I Of Flanders . She married King Philip II Of France in 1180 and brought as her Dowry the County Of Artois . Isabella was crowned consort of France at Saint Denis on May 28 , 1180 . As Baldwin V claimed to be a descendant of Charlemagne , the chroniclers of the time saw in this marriage a union of the Carolingian and Capetian dynasties. Though she received extravagant praise from certain Annalists , she failed to win the affections of Philip, who, in 1184 , waging war against Flanders , was angered at seeing Baldwin support his enemies, and called a council at Sens for the purpose of repudiating her. Robert, the king's uncle, successfully interposed. Isabella died in childbirth in 1190 , and was buried in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Her son became Louis VIII Of France . REFERENCES |
