Isabella of Angoulême: The Scandalous Queen of England Who Helped Spark a War
In this episode of Queens Podcast, Katy and Nathan unpack the chaotic life of Isabella of Angoulême, the controversial Queen of England and wife of King John.
Married at just twelve to the 33-year-old king, Isabella’s union helped ignite political turmoil between England and France, contributing to the loss of Normandy and the instability that led to the Magna Carta. Chroniclers painted her as a “Jezebel,” blaming her for wars, rebellion, and even witchcraft.
After King John’s dramatic death in 1216, Isabella returned to France, remarried in scandalous fashion, and continued making waves well into her fifties.
Troublemaker or survivor? From child queen to dowager rebel, this is one of medieval England’s most misunderstood women.
