Biography

Isobel was the second daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, and his queen-consort, Ermengarde de Beaumont, although the exact date of her birth is unknown.^[1]

On the 1st of June 1225 at Alnwick, Northumberland, she married Roger Bigod, 6th Earl of Norfolk.^[1][2] It seems to have been a troubled marriage: in 1246 Roger repudiated his wife on the grounds of consanguinity, but he was forced by an ecclesiatical order to take her back in 1253.^[1] There were no children from this marriage.^[2][3][4]

The date of Isobel's death is unknown, although she was alive and living in Gloucestershire in October 1263.^[1] She was buried at the Church of the Black Friars, London.^[1]

Research Notes

• Although Isabella was known as of Scotland, her LNAB probably should be Dunkeld to match the rest of the family, and her birth place is probably a guess, as that is where the Royal Palace is situated.
