Married at 6, Widowed at 10 – England's Forgotten Child Queen

She was married at six. Widowed at ten. Forgotten by history. In this emotionally charged episode, we dive into the forgotten story of Isabella of Valois—a royal child thrust into the cruel heart of medieval power games. Married to King Richard II of England at just six years old during the Hundred Years' War, Isabella was expected to be a political solution, not a person. But after tragedy struck, and her husband was mysteriously killed, this ten-year-old girl did something no one expected: she refused to be used again. Explore the chilling reality of child marriage in medieval Europe, the heartbreaking coronation of a child widow, and the quiet strength of a young girl who defied kings, courtiers, and centuries of tradition. We uncover the disturbing politics behind royal alliances, the personal trauma hidden beneath royal robes, and the lost humanity behind historical treaties. Isabella's story is not just about medieval marriage customs—it’s about survival, resilience, and the price children paid for peace.
