谁嫁给了Isabella Gonzaga?

Isabella Gonzaga

Isabella Gonzaga (Italian: Isabella Gonzaga di Novellara; 1576 – 1630), was an Italian aristocrat. She was Lady Consort of San Martino dall'Argine by marriage to Ferrante Gonzaga, Lord of San Martino dall'Argine, and Duchess consort of Mantua and Montferrat by marriage to Vincenzo II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. She served as regent of San Martino dall'Argine during the minority of her son Scipione between 1605 and 1613.

Considered one of the most beautiful women of her time, after the death of her first husband, she was regent of San Martino all’Argine, Isola Dovarese, Rivarolo and Commessaggio from 1605 to 1613, due to the fact that her eldest son was still a minor. Her disastrous second marriage to a distant cousin resulted in an accusation of witchcraft and an Inquisition process initiated at the request of her second husband's relatives, including his brother, Ferdinando I, which culminated in her complete rehabilitation. She played a fatal role in the extinction of the main branch of the House of Gonzaga, which initiated the beginning of the War of the Mantuan Succession.

Vincenzo II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua

Vincenzo II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua

Vincenzo II Gonzaga (8 February 1594 – 25 December 1627) was Duke of Mantua and Duke of Montferrat from 1626 until his death.

Vincenzo was the son of Duke Vincent I and Eleonora de' Medici and inherited the duchy upon the death of his elder brother Ferdinand, receiving the imperial investiture on 8 February 1627.

He received a cardinalate in 1615 upon Ferdinando's succession, but did not travel to Rome to receive the red hat; the following year he married his relative Isabella Gonzaga, daughter of Alfonso Gonzaga, Count of Novellara, and the pope deprived him of his cardinalate.

He and Isabella did not have any children, and as the only surviving son, he was encouraged to take a new wife; however the pope would not grant him a divorce. Isabella was then accused of witchcraft, but was found innocent; three men were later executed for trying to murder her.

Vincenzo also had problems with money and sold several of his paintings and valuables, particularly to the English King Charles I.

Conscious of his poor health, the childless Vincenzo set up an inheritance for his lands through the marriage of his niece Maria (daughter of the former Duke Francis IV) with Charles of Nevers' son Charles of Gonzaga-Nevers. The elder Charles was a cousin of his father. Vincenzo died on the marriage day of Maria and Charles.
