Biography
English royalty, a daughter of James II of England and his second wife Mary of Modena.
Isabel was born at St James's Palace when her father was Duke of York; the reigning king was her uncle Charles II of England. At the time of her birth, she was the second daughter of James and Mary, behind her sister Catherine Laura who died two months after Isabel's birth. Isabel had two older half-sisters from her father's first marriage to Anne Hyde: Mary and Anne; both would become reigning Queens of England. Isabel's paternal grandparents were Charles I of England and his wife Henrietta Maria of France, her maternal grandparents were Alfonso IV d'Este and Laura Martinozzi.
Lady Isabel died at St James's Palace on 2 March 1681 [OS], the place of her birth, of natural causes aged four, five months shy of her fifth birthday. Her death plunged Mary into a religious mania, worrying her physician. Four years after the death of Isabel, her father succeeded as King of England.
