Isabella of Angoulême, Queen of England.
If I had an award to give out for the messiest Queen of England, I’m sure Isabella of Angoulême would be in the running. Isabella started out as a young child heiress in France and had the unfortunate experience of being married to bad King John. It gets worse from there. Come join me this week to hear her crazy story.
