More from the West Cast Court of the Victoria and Albert Museum. In front is Isabelle (aka Isabella) d'Angoulême, King John's second wife and queen consort, and later Countess of Angoulême in her own right. Behind her is Richard I, and behind him Henry II. Isabelle was probably 12 to 14 years old when she married John, and already betrothed to the count of Lusignan. As a result of John's ill-treatment of the count of Lusignan, Philip II of France confiscated John's territories in France. After four years of warfare John eventually lost all his territory in France except the duchy of Aquitaine.

Building MaRS

The West Tower of MaRS going up in Toronto on September 3, 2011. MaRS is a not-for-profit corporation that markets publicly funded medical research. The name originally had no meaning, then was said to mean "Medical and Related Services", and then went back to having no meaning when non-medical organizations began participating. A more recent view from around this spot: www.google.ca/maps/@43.6600269,-79.3907097,3a,75y,126.67h,109.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sGkgjDjK1AF2WBEgfbyEgiw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
