Some lovely detail there. I hope her second marriage was better than her first.

Her life after John was highly eventful, Jean. After having five children (including Henry III) with John she had nine with the Count of La Marche. She and her husband organized a rebellion against the French king. but then kissed and made up with him, Two years before her death, though, she was accused of trying to poison the king and took refuge in an abbey for the rest of her life. And that's just part of it.
