In
Valencia on 29 June 1407, Isabella married
James II of Urgell, soon after the marriage, James was appointed
lieutenant of the
Kingdom of Aragon in 1408. The county of Urgell was dissolved in 1413, following her husband's revolt against the new King
Ferdinand I of Aragon who had been chosen to succeed to the throne of Aragon in 1412 despite James having had the stronger claim as the closest legitimate
agnate to the Royal
House of Barcelona. Earlier, King Ferdinand had offered James 150,000
florins, the title of Duke of Montblanc, and proposed an alliance between his son Henry and their eldest daughter, Isabella, but James had refused Ferdinand's offer on the advice of his mother. In addition to the loss of his title and assets, James was later tried, condemned, and sentenced to life imprisonment. The couple had five children: •
Isabella of Urgell, Duchess of Coimbra (12 March 1409 – 17 September 1459). Married
Infante Peter, Duke of Coimbra and was the mother of
Isabella, Queen of Portugal. • Philip of Urgell (died 1422) • Eleanor of Urgell (1414 – after 1438). Married 1436 Raimondo
Orsini, 6th Count of
Nola. • Joan of Urgell (early 1415 Convent of Sijena – 1445). Married firstly
John I, Count of Foix and secondly
John Ramon III, Count of Cardona. Had issue from her second marriage. • Catherine of Urgell (died before 1424). Isabella died in 1424, having outlived at least two of her children. Her husband was in prison, in Xàtiva, where he died in 1433. Their eldest surviving daughter, Isabella, became Countess of Urgell as well as Duchess consort of
Coimbra. == References ==
