Isabeau of Bavaria (c. 1370 – 1435), also known as Elisabeth of Bavaria-Ingolstadt, was Queen of France from 1385 to 1422, after marrying young King Charles VI at the age of 15 or 16.
Biography
After her son, Charles had John the Fearless assassinated, she had him disinherited.[1] A year following this in 1420, Isabeau signed the Treaty of Troyes, which effectively handed the Kingdom of France to the next English king, Henry V upon the death of her husband.[2] Which it later would in 1422, however as Henry V was predeceased, this passed to his infant son Henry VI. Isabeau lived in English-occupied France until her death in 1435.[1]
Legacy
By 1429, Isabeau's actions caused many of the French population to view her with disdain. Among these was the Maid of Lorraine, Jeanne d'Arc who referred to her as the "Wicked Queen Isabeau," disgusted that she practically gave away France to the boy-king. She made these opinions known to Jean de Metz while she and her step-cousin Gabriel Laxart were in Vaucouleurs to see his lord, Robert de Baudricourt in January of that year.[2]
