  	9 children were produced by this union. Isabella's marriages were troublesome for England's kings. She had originally been betrothed to Huges' father when John wed her. With that, the Angevin empire of John's father began to come apart in earnest. Then Isabella's brood by the second marriage found a willing home at the court of her son, Henry II- a circumstance that caused him untold grief. The Lusignans, along with their rivals, the queen's Savoyards, were resented by England's magnates; they were the foreigners on whom the king wasted his patronage and became the focus of rebellion.
