Isabel was quiet, lived by herself, became a nun and then the Prioress of Amesbury Priory, but spent a lot of time outside of the priory on pilgrimages and personally attending to and the administration of her properties granted to her by her father. She owned hunting dogs and had servants, used her family's position to her advantage to obtain benefits and special considerations. The king ordered three tuns of wine yearly for life to her priory, as well as twelve oaks for life from the Chute Forest. She was elected prioress March of 1344, and died shortly before 04 Feb 1349. There is no husband listed there.
Other than Leese, I know of no reliable evidence that links Isabel with Henry de la Dale. Should we disconnect him?
