From Child Bride to Forgotten Queen: Isabelle of France’s Tragic Life

She was married at six years old… and dead before nineteen. This is the tragic, forgotten story of Isabelle of France, the child bride who became Queen of England. Born in 1389, Isabelle was used as a pawn in the Hundred Years’ War. At just six, she was forced to marry Richard II of England, a man nearly five times her age. Her wedding gown and crown weighed more than her body, and her “marriage” was nothing more than a treaty between two kingdoms. By 1399, Richard was deposed and killed, leaving Isabelle a widow at only ten. England tried to force her into another marriage, but she bravely refused. Sent back to France, she remarried at sixteen — but died just a few years later, at nineteen. This is not a fairy tale. It’s the shocking truth of a queen who never got to grow up. 👉 Subscribe for more Untold Times and uncover the stories kings wanted you to forget. ----- Historical References: 📖 Froissart’s Chronicles (14th century accounts of the Hundred Years’ War) 📖 Primary English and French royal records, marriage treaties, and council documents (1396–1401) 📖 Alison Weir – Queens of the Conquest (context on child brides in medieval Europe) 📖 Juliet Barker – Conquest: The English Kingdom of France 1417–1450 (background on the Anglo-French struggle) ----- #History #MedievalHistory #IsabelleOfFrance #RichardII #ForgottenQueen #DarkHistory #ChildBride #England #France #HundredYearsWar
