Is this the right location? I'd have thought Isabella of Austria is more correct. john k 22:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Death

edit

I dont' know the cause of death in this article. Isabella died very young, that's clear. What about ? An illness, an accident, by a misscarriage .... ?

I hope, that somebody find more details.

The Princess of Denmark (Mary's daughter), Isabella, born 2007, is named after her "relativ". --AndreaMimi (talk) 11:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have expanded the article greatly today. She died of some sort of long-term illness, not childbirth, but the references does not specify her sickness. In those days, the diagnosis of illnesses may have been harder. People back in 1526 may simply have said she was "sick", nothing more. They may not have known the cause. --85.226.42.150 (talk) 14:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC).Reply

Citations

edit

This article lacks proper citations, particularly concerning Isabella's life and religious beliefs after her husband Christian was deposed.

Regent of Norway

Was she also Regent of Norway?--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 05:06, 4 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

You mean in 1520? That is not likely. She was regent in Denmark in 1520 because her spouse was in Sweden, who was in union with Denmark just as Norway. There was no change in Norway, which would have been ruled the same way during her husband's stay in Sweden as it was during his stay in Denmark, where he normally lived. --Aciram (talk) 22:17, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Her initial resting place

edit
 

Her initial resting place was apparently in the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Sint-Pieterskerk in Belgium. We have just received an image donation of her tombstone there. Can this be integrated into the article? cheers, Amada44  talk to me 19:51, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Netherlands / Low Countries

edit

I edited the place to which Christian fled from 'Netherlands' to 'Low Countries'. Since Netherlands refers to the page about the present-day Netherlands, this is incorrect. Christian spent his exile in Lier, present-day Belgium. 'Low Countries' refers to the entire region, indeed under one rule in Isabella's time. 146.175.202.162 (talk) 12:40, 8 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

"Her native german"

edit

Do we have confirmation of this? Isabella was born in Brussels and raised in Mechelen alongside her brother Charles (future emperor Charles V), whose native tongue is generally regarded to be french, not german. Brussels was french-speaking, Mechelen was dutch-speaking but the nobility spoke french. Her brother is thought to have never even dominated German, and even addressed his german subjects in French several times. I would imagine that Isabella, having shared an upbringing with Charles, would also not be a native German Speaker. The Chumbo One (talk) 08:46, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
