15 July 1235, at Worms, Germany.<br />

Isabella was the sister of Henry III of England. It was<br />

Gregory IX in 1235 to advocate the wedding to allow the<br />

emperor to get close to the rich Germanic Guelph that even<br />

he could not control and the potentates across the Channel.<br />

In fact, the goal was achieved only in part, and before that<br />

Frederick could complicate his part family relationships with<br />

the English crown, the framework of diplomatic and military<br />

operations moved to Italy, nor reduced the claims of German nobles. Isabella was<br />

the mother of Henry said “Carlotto”, she died at a very young age in 1241, in the<br />

middle of the conflict of her husband with Gregory IX.<br />

Children:<br />

Jordan (born during the Spring of 1236, failed to survive the year).; this<br />

child was given the baptismal name Jordanus as he was baptized with water<br />

brought for that purpose from the Jordan river;<br />

Marriage of Mathilde with the Emperor Fredrick II,<br />

Bartolomeo da Neocastro (History, cit., P. 21) and Pirro (See A. Pirro, Sicilia, cit.,<br />

Pp. 25-35) says that the mother of Frederick is legitimate wife of the Emperor.<br />
