''Not to be confused with Elizabeth of Vermandois, Countess of Leicester'' Elisabeth of Vermandois also known as Isabelle Mabile or Isabelle de Vermandois (1143 – Arras 28 March 1183) was the eldest daughter of Ralph I, Count of Vermandois and his second wife Petronilla of Aquitaine. She was Countess Regnant of Vermandois and Countess Consort of Flanders. ==Background== Elisabeth was overall the second child of her father; she had an elder brother named Hugh who was their father's heir, from his first marriage to Eleonore of Blois therefore Elisabeth was second inline to inheriting the county. When Elisabeth was aged two, she was joined by a brother also named Ralph; this pushed Elisabeth back to third in line. Around three years later, Elisabeth gained a further sister, Eleonore. Elisabeth's mother Petronilla was the sister of the much-celebrated Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen consort of both France and England in her lifetime, this made Elisabeth first cousin to both Richard I of England and John of England. Ralph had divorced his first wife Eleonore, however his marriage to Petronilla had been viewed as illegitimate by Pope Innocent II, the marriage was later legitimized by Pope Celestine II however, the couple divorced in 1151 and Ralph remarried the following year to Laurette, daughter of Thierry, Count of Flanders. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elisabeth, Countess of Vermandois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
