Isabelle of France, sister of Louis IX, were informed and circumscribed by an overarching apprehension that she could not live up to her own ideals. Recognized in her own time as extreme, her commitments initiated or were imitated by her brother, whose imposition of moralizing policies seems to draw on the religious concerns of those, like Isabelle, within the court circle.
