  Burial Notes:

Isabella married Theobald II of Navarre the Young [64204] [MRIN: 551618884], son of Theobald I of Navarre King of Navarre [11494] and Margaret of Bourbon Countess of Champagne and Queen of Navarre [63257], on 6 Apr 1255. (Theobald II of Navarre the Young [64204] was born about 1239 and died on 4 Dec 1270.)

  Marriage Notes:

Louis IX wanted to make peace with Navarre so he married Isabella off to Theobald. Some written parental directives of Louis IX for his daughter survive, an unusual feature since the preparation of royal ladies for marriage was usually entrusted to their mothers, not their fathers. The Archbishop of Rouen celebrated the marriage between Isabella and Theobald II, King of Navarre and Count of Champagne, on 6 April 1255 in Melun. The bridegroom was 18 and the bride 13 years old. They are usually said to have remained childless, but a contemporary Spanish chronicle states that Isabella and Theobald produced and lost a child around 1258, and a rather later Spanish chronicler says that Isabella died in 1271, shortly after Theobald's death, "siendo prenada," presumably meaning that she died in childbirth.
