John FitzGerald's photos with the keyword: west cast court

More from the West Cast Court of the Victoria and Albert Museum. In front is Isabelle (aka Isabella) d'Angoulême, King John's second wife and queen consort, and later Countess of Angoulême in her own right. Behind her is Richard I, and behind him Henry II. Isabelle was probably 12 to 14 years old when she married John, and already betrothed to the count of Lusignan. As a result of John's ill-treatment of the count of Lusignan, Philip II of France confiscated John's territories in France. After four years of warfare John eventually lost all his territory in France except the duchy of Aquitaine.
