The Psalter-Hours of Isabelle of France

Blanche of Artois

Owners

Louis IX’s niece Blanche, daughter of Robert of Artois, married Henry III of Champagne and Navarre in 1269. The obit of Robert of Artois in the Calendar would have been equally relevant to his daughter and to his sister, Isabelle of France, but less so to the other royal women.

This page contains the obits (death dates) of Louis XI and Isabelle of France’s father, Louis VIII (8 November 1226) penned in blue, and mother, Blanche of Castile (27 November 1252), written in gold.
