Everything about Isabella Jagie O totally explained
Isabella Jagiellon (; ;
18 January,
1519 –
15 September,
1559) was a
Queen of
Hungary and the consort of
John Zápolya.
Born in
Kraków to King
Sigismund I of Poland and
Bona Sforza, Princess of
Milan, Isabella was brought up in the
Polish royal court. Her mother taught her the Italian language and
Renaissance culture, so she became an educated young lady, who spoke four languages.
In
1539 Isabella was married to the claimant of the Hungarian throne,
John Zápolya. Their son
John II Sigismund Zápolya was born on
8 July,
1540. Her husband died two weeks after the child was born, and from this time on Isabella began her struggle to keep the Hungarian throne as a widow queen and the guardian of her child, who was elected electus rex in the meantime.
In
1541, after the reoccupation of
Buda, Isabella went to
Transylvania on the order of Sultan
Suleiman the Magnificent, where she reigned with her child over the territories under her authority. However, the real governor was the appointed
George Martinuzzi. In the summer of 1551 she left Transylvania, which fell into the hands of
Ferdinand of Austria in accordance with the treaty of
Nyírbátor.
According to a legend, when Isabella stopped to have a rest at the gates of
Meszes, she cut the abbreviation of her slogan into the bark of an old oak tree: SFV –
Sic fata volunt, for example it's the will of fate. By the request of the Hungarian orders she returned to the country together with her child and her advisor,
Mihály Csáky, in the autumn of 1556. After this Isabella set up her Transylvanian chancellery with the help of Mihály Csáky, and the new state started to function. She reigned in the new state with her son until her death in
Alba Iulia in 1559.
