 ISABELLA OF ANGOULEME. 79 was nicknamed by the French and Poitovins "Jezebel of Angouleme." Previous to his departure for the Holy Land, the unlucky Count de la Marche bequeathed all his younger sons and his daughter Alice to the care of Henry III. His eldest son, Hugh, who had so manfully asserted the innocence of his family, succeeded to both his father's patrimony and also to his mother's fair inheritance. Henry accepted the trust, and amply provided for his half-brothers and sister. The latter he gave in marriage to the Earl of Warren.
