Notes
A medieval English countess, she was the wife of both Gilbert de Clare, 4 t h E a r l o f Hertford and 1st Earl of Gloucester and Richard, 1st Earl of C o r n w a ll (son of King John of England). With the former,she was a great g r a n d p arent of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland.
She had proven child bearing ability and the ability to bear healthy so n s ; a s e v idenced by her six young children, three of whom were sons. Th e s e w e r e most likely the reasons for both the proposal of marriage from R i c h a r d, 1st Earl of Cornwwall, and Isabel's acceptance of it, despite t h e f a c t t hat her husband had just died five months previously. The two w e r e m a r ried on 30 March 1231 at Fawley Church, much to the displeasure o f R i c h a rd's brother King Henry, who had been arranging a more advantage ou s m a t c h for Richard. Isabel and Richard got along well enough, though R i c h a r d had a reputation as a womanizer and is known to have had mistres s e s d u r ing the marriage.
