Isabel of Portugal

Duchess of Burgundy

Stilwell, Isabel

Isabel of Burgundy, the only woman of the so-called Illustrious Generation. A woman who never forgot she was the daughter of Philippa of Lancaster and a Princess of Portugal.
This is the story of the amazing life of one of the most powerful women of medieval Europe who, with intelligence and determination, took on the rul­ing of Burgundy, negotiated alliances with France and England, tried to save Joan of Arc, and skillfully plotted in the War of Roses.
