- tome 13y agoBut your link says she "was the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England" and "married Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor"!
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoAh yes, I see your point now. A couple of centuries after the first Henry V, there’s another Henry V, born in England. Of course, there are plenty of kings and child brides to choose from. How about Richard II of England, who married Isabella of Valois when she was 6 years old?
- gngeal 13y agoExcept that the Henry V in question was a German guy. :) "The Holy Roman Empire", despite its name, was initially a Frankish and then a purely German institution, comprising a lot of the lands of Central Europe (plus a bit of Western Europe, for as while).
