Isabelle of Burgundy

Isabelle of Burgundy (1270 - August, 1323), Lady of Vieux-Château, was the second and last Queen consort of Rudolph I of Germany.

Family

She was the second daughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy and his second wife Beatrice of Champagne.

Her maternal grandparents were Theobald I of Navarre, also Count of Champagne, and his third wife Margaret of Bourbon.

Margaret was a daughter of Archambaud VIII de Bourbon, Sire de Bourbon from 1216 to 1242, and his first wife Guigone de Forez.

Marriages

She was betrothed in 1272 to Charles of Flandres. He was born in 1266 to the later Robert III of Flanders and his first wife Blanche of Sicily. His maternal grandparents were Charles I of Sicily and Beatrice of Provence. Her betrothed died in 1277.

On 6 February, 1284, Isabelle married Rudolph I of Germany. The bride was fourteen years old and the groom almost sixty-six. She seems to have been younger than eight of his children from his previous marriage to Gertrude of Hohenburg. She was a year older than her stepdaughter Judith of Habsburg, his ninth child and wife of Wenceslaus II of Bohemia.

Their marriage remained childless. Rudolph died on 15 July, 1291. He was succeeded as Duke of Austria by his co-ruling sons Albert I and Rudolph II.

She returned to the Court of Burgundy and was granted the title of "Lady of Vieux-Château" on 20 November, 1294

She had a second marriage to Pierre IX de Chambly, Lord of Neaufles who died c. 1319.
