ISABELLA DE BOURBON

Isabella, daughter of King Henry IV of France,

was still a young girl when she was married

to Philip, Prince of Asturias

and heir to the Spanish throne.

On her husband’s accession,

she found herself queen of the most powerful

courts of Europe.

High-spirited and gay of heart,

she was yet wise in council,

and towards the end of her life

did her best to reform the scandalous immorality

prevalent in the Spanish court.

Her son, Don Baltasar Carlos,

was born in 1629,

and his death at an early age caused great sorrow

to his father.

The great Spanish painter Velasquez

has immortalized Isabella de Bourbon

in one of his superb canvasses.
