Death and burial of Isabella of Castile, Duchess of York

(Royal Ancestry & Royal Tombs of Medieval England) Isabella of Castile died on December 23, 1392 and was buried in the church of the Friars Preachers at King's Langley, Hertfordshire on January 14, 1393. She left a will dated 6 October (1392?), proved 6 January 1393. She was buried on Richard II's instructions, as according to Dugdale, Isabella's will left her burial-place to the king's discretion. There are no records of the King's Langley tombs. The priory surrendered to the crown in 1536, but was not dissolved until 1559, when the estate passed into private hands. The heraldic tomb-chest now standing in the north chapel of King's Langley parish church is thought to have originated from the priory, and is usually ascribed to Edmund Langley. The tomb-chest was executed in Purbeck marble with alabaster panels. There is no effigy or inscription. It was moved to its present position in 1877 at which time it was opened and found to contain the disturbed remains of a male about sixty and a female aged around forty, thought to be Edmund and Isabella.

Richardson seems to have made a mistake in the family tree (on page xxix) of his "Plantagenet Ancestors" as the wife of Edmund of Langley, Duke of York is shown to be Constance of Castille, sister of Isabella, when in fact it should be Isabella. Constance married Edmund's brother, John of Gaunt.(Photo posted in Images) Am I mistaken?

Spain was not a political entity until 1479 , with the marriage of Isabella (Castille) and Ferdinand (Aragon). Once Isabella died, the Crown of Castle reverted to her oldest surviving daughter not her husband. It was not until 1527, with the birth of Philip Ii , that the title Prince of Spain was used. Crown of Castle and Crown of Aragon remained separate till after the War of Spanish succession (1700-1715) when Philip V merged the country. Saying all of this Spain did not exist before 1479 and people living before then would not have used Spain. They would have said they came from Castilla-Leon or Aragon.

Shouldn't birth surname be Ivrea?

Castile-226 and Castilla-81 appear to represent the same person because: Merge pending for parents.
DeCastile-11 and Castilla-81 appear to represent the same person because: Think it's a match.
