She was the lover of, or according to other sources, married to Harold Godwinsson who was king of England during the battle of Hastings. What I want to know is, did she have any other connections with Coventry apart from her grandparents? Where was she born? If it was in Coventry, could we claim to have had a Queen of England? |

Roger Moretimer's body is said to be interred at Greyfriars in Coventry. Although no records are available to prove it. Isabella's body was buried at Hertford on 23 August 1358. ![]() Always looking forward to looking at the past. |
