Isabel of Majorca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isabel (also Isabella or Elizabeth, Catalan: Elisabet) (1337–1403) was the last titular Queen of Majorca and Countess of Roussillon and Cerdanya from 1375 to her death.
She was the daughter of James III and his first wife, Constance of Aragón. Her maternal grandparents were Alfonso IV of Aragon and his first wife Teresa of Entença and Antillon.
She succeeded to the titles and pretensions, as well as the actual lands, of her brother James IV on his death. Their father had lost the kingdom (1343) and then the counties (1345) to Peter IV of Aragón. Isabel was unable at any point to mount a serious attempt to regain her claimed territories.
On 4 September 1358, Isabel married the Margrave John II of Montferrat in Montpellier. They had five children:
- Otto III of Montferrat (1358-1378)
- John III of Montferrat (1360-1381)
- Theodore II of Montferrat (1364-1418)
- William (1365-1400)
- Margaret(c.1365-1420), married in 1375 to Peter II of Urgell
In 1375, Isabel married secretly Conrad of Reichach, with whom she had one son, Michael.
