'''Isabella''' (1400 – 28 February 1453) was [[suo jure]] [[List of rulers of Lorraine|Duchess of Lorraine]] from 25 January 1431 to her death in 1453. She was also [[List of Neapolitan royal consorts|Queen of Naples]] by marriage to [[René of Anjou]]. Isabella ruled the [[Kingdom of Naples]] and her husband's domains in France as [[regent]] during his imprisonment in Burgundy in 1435–1438.

==Life==
Isabella was the eldest daughter of [[Charles II, Duke of Lorraine]] and [[Margaret of the Palatinate]].{{sfn|Wolffe|2001|p=372}} By the death of her brothers, it was made apparent in 1410 that she would be the successor of her father in Lorraine. She was given a careful education, and described as beautiful, witty, brave and with the ability to be careful and make hard decisions in difficult circumstances.

On 24 October 1420, Isabella married René of Anjou.{{sfn|Kekewich|2008|p=21}} In the marriage contract, it was specified that she would inherit Lorraine, as he would inherit Bar and Pont-à-Mousson, and that their child and heir would inherit all their domains, thereby uniting them.

On 25 January 1431, Isabella inherited the duchy from her father upon his death, and ruled jointly with her husband as her co-ruler, as was customary for a female monarch at that time.{{sfn|Kekewich|2008|p=27}} Her right to rule was questioned by her cousin, Count Antoine de Vaudémont, who captured René in the Battle of Bulgnéville and had him imprisoned with his ally, the Duke of Burgundy.{{sfn|Kekewich|2008|p=28}} She led an army to rescue her husband from [[Philip III, Duke of Burgundy]]. She managed to secure a ceasefire, and the Emperor recognized her right to rule on 24 April 1434.{{sfn|Kekewich|2008|p=29}}

On November 1434, her imprisoned spouse inherited the domains of Anjou, Provence and Maine from his brother as well as the position of heir to the throne of Naples, and on 2 February 1435, he inherited the throne of Naples. René appointed her to act as his general governor until his release, and a Napolese embassy asked her to come to Naples to assume the post of regent until her spouse could do so in person. She left with her son Louis and a fleet. The mid-16th century ''Chronicle of Gaspare Fuscolillo'' records that Isabella arrived in Naples on 15 October 1435. As regent of Naples, was to face the struggle with the other competitor to the throne of Naples, Alfonso of Aragon. She was given military support from the pope, but could not cooperate well with its commander, [[Jacopo Caldora]].

René was released in 1437, and arrived in Naples to take over the rule from Isabella in May 1438. Isabella left with Louis to return to Lorraine in August 1440. In Lorraine, she finally defeated Antoine de Vaudémont 27 March 1441. When Charles VII of France visited in Nancy, they introduced [[Agnes Sorel]] to him, who was one of Isabella's ladies-in-waiting. She soon afterwards became the king's influential mistress. In July 1445, Isabella appointed her son John to be her governor general in Lorraine, and retired to her manor Launay in Saumur.

Isabella died on 28 February 1453 at the age of 53. Her son John succeeded her as Duke of Lorraine. She was buried in [[Angers Cathedral]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Staley |first=Edgcumbe |title=King Rene D'anjou and His Seven Queens |date=1912 |publisher=JOHN LONG, LIMITED}}</ref> René then married, on 10 September 1454, [[Jeanne de Laval]], but this marriage was childless.

==Issue==

#[[John II, Duke of Lorraine|John II]] (2 August 1424 – 16 December 1470),{{sfn|Wolffe|2001|p=372}} Duke of Lorraine and King of Naples, married Marie de Bourbon, daughter of [[Charles I, Duke of Bourbon]], by whom he had issue. He also had several illegitimate children.

'''Charles II''' (11 September 1365 – 25 January 1431), called '''the Bold''' ({{langx|fr|le Hardi}}) was the [[Duke of Lorraine]] from 1390 to his death and [[Constable of France]] from 1418 to 1425.

Charles joined the Barbary Crusade, fought at Nicopolis, and aided the Teutonic knights in Livonia. During the Hundred Years War, he sought closer ties to the French royal family, even being made Constable by Queen Isabella. Following an indecisive war against his nephew, he died in 1431.

==Biography==
Born 11 September 1365,{{efn|Henry Bogdan, Regine Pernoud and Marie-Veronique Clin indicate Charles was born in 1365{{sfn|Bogdan|2007|p=284}}{{sfn|Pernoud|Clin|1998|p=191}}}} Charles was the elder son of [[John I, Duke of Lorraine]], and Sophie, daughter of [[Eberhard II, Count of Württemberg]].{{sfn|Bogdan|2007|p=284}} During his youth, he had been close to [[Philip II, Duke of Burgundy]], and they were comrades in arms on several occasions. This proximity to [[Duchy of Burgundy|Burgundy]] was largely a result of his father's moving away from the French court, the court to which the Lorrainer dukes had neared in the past century and a half as they withdrew from the [[Holy Roman Empire]], within which their duchy was still technically a vassal state. Charles was defiant of [[Louis I, Duke of Orléans]], who had supported the citizens of [[Neufchâteau, Vosges|Neufchâteau]] against his father and the [[Wenceslaus, King of the Romans|Emperor Wenceslaus]] when the latter was accused by his subjects of weakness. Wenceslaus was deposed in 1400 and replaced by [[Rupert of Germany|Rupert III, Count Palatine of the Rhine]], Charles's father-in-law.

Charles was also a major participant in some late [[Crusade|Crusading]] movements. He joined the [[Barbary Crusade]] in 1391 and was at the disastrous [[Battle of Nicopolis]] in 1396. There he accompanied [[John the Fearless]], the [[count of Nevers]] and son of his friend Philip. In 1399, he assisted the [[Teutonic Knights]] in [[Livonia]].{{sfn|Bogdan|2007|p=64}}

==Hundred Years War==
France broke down into two parties: the [[Armagnacs]] of [[Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac]], the tutor of the young [[Charles, duc d'Orléans|Charles of Orléans]], and the Burgundians of John the Fearless, Philip's successor, who was supported by Charles of Lorraine. Charles did not, however, enter the Anglo-French conflict then raging—the [[Hundred Years' War]]—but his brother, [[Frederick I, Count of Vaudémont]], got involved and died in the [[Battle of Agincourt]] in 1415. Nevertheless, the queen, [[Isabeau of Bavaria]], appointed Charles constable in 1418.{{sfn|Sumption|2015|p=552}} In 1425, he asserted that the load was too large for him and renounced it.{{sfn|Davidson|Oosterwijk|2021|p=229}}

Charles adopted a new stance vis-à-vis France after the assassination of [[John the Fearless]] in 1419. John's successor, [[Philip III, Duke of Burgundy|Philip III]], had much territory in the [[Low Countries]] and only Lorraine and [[Champagne (province)|Champagne]] separated his Burgundian from his Belgian possessions. Fearing any warlike ambitions, Charles thought it prudent to reorient his fidelities and friendships away from such a possible adversary. Through his French connections, he obtained the assistance of [[Charles VII of France|Charles VII]] against Burgundy and married his daughter to the [[House of Valois-Anjou|Angevin]] [[René I of Naples|René]], later [[king of Naples]].

Charles's final years were rife with conflict and unhappiness. His nephew, [[Anthony of Vaudémont]] demanded a part of the inheritance and Charles had to war against him in 1425, without much success. Early in 1429, [[Joan of Arc]] came on a pilgrimage to [[Saint-Nicolas-de-Port]]. She counselled the duke to abandon his mistress, Alison du May.{{sfn|Pernoud|1982|p=38}} Ignoring this advice, Charles gave her an escort and sent her on to [[Chinon]]. He died two years later at his capital of [[Nancy, France|Nancy]] on 25 January.{{sfn|Kekewich|2008|p=27}}

==Family==
Charles married [[Margaret of the Palatinate]] (1376–1434),{{sfn|Bogdan|2007|p=76}} daughter of [[Rupert of Germany]] and [[Elisabeth of Nuremberg]], in 1393, only two daughters survived childhood:
*[[Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine|Isabella]] (1400–1453), who became Duchess ''[[suo jure]]'' on his death and married [[René I of Naples|René]],{{sfn|Bogdan|2007|p=284}} later holder of many prestigious titles
*Louis, died young
*Ralph, died young
*[[Catherine de Lorraine (1407—1439)|Catherine]] (1407–1439), married [[Jacob, Margrave of Baden]]

With his mistress, the aforementioned Alison du May (murdered in Nancy, 25 January 1431), he had five children:
*Ferry d'Einvile (d. 1453/56), Lord of Billestein, Villacourt, Vaxoncourt, Pallegney and Zincourt. He had issue.
*John Pillelipille (d. 1460), Lord of [[Darnieulles]], married Philippa de Marches. He had issue.
*Ferry de Lunéville (fl. c. 1425).
*Catherine (fl. c. 1425).
*Isabelle (d. after 9 August 1457), married in 1425 to [[Henry of Liocourt]].

The '''House of Barcelona''' was a medieval dynasty that ruled the [[County of Barcelona]] continuously from 878 and the [[Crown of Aragon]] from 1137 (as kings from 1162) until 1410. They descend from the [[Bellonids]], the descendants of [[Wilfred the Hairy]]. They inherited most of the [[Catalan counties]] by the thirteenth century and established a territorial [[Principality of Catalonia]], uniting it with the [[Kingdom of Aragon]] through marriage and conquering numerous other lands and kingdoms until the death of the last [[Legitimacy (family law)|legitimate]] male of the main branch, [[Martin the Humanist]], in 1410. Cadet branches of the house continued to rule [[County of Urgell|Urgell]] (since 992) and [[Duke of Gandia|Gandia]]. Cadet branches of the dynasty had also ruled [[Ausona]] intermittently from 878 until 1111, [[Provence]] from 1112 to 1245, and [[Kingdom of Sicily|Sicily]] from 1282 to 1409. By the [[Compromise of Caspe]] of 1412 the Crown of Aragon passed to a branch of the [[House of Trastámara]], descended from the ''[[infanta]]'' [[Eleanor of Aragon, Queen of Castile|Eleanor]] of the house of Barcelona.
