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.
