I read somewhere that he kidnapped her on her way to marry Hugh de Lusignan ( apologies if incorrect but, what gets me, is how I can remember his name and half the time can’t find my glasses. Was that just made up for a book. Thank youn🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

They were not allowed to consummate the marriage if they were that young. John and Henry III are my GG Father's with Isabelle Agouleme and Eleanor of Provonce ❤

12 was the earliest age of a young girl/woman could have sex but I think that was pushing it for most people. Their oldest, Henry III, wasn't born until seven years into their marriage. So more likely, they probably consummated the marriage on the wedding night, as was required, but she was then left alone until she was old enough.
