Empress Isabella I (14th February 1036 - 22nd December 1121), more commonly known as Isabella of Étaingard before her accession to the throne, and also known as the Black Lady, was Empress of the Lonvergian Empire from 1087 until her death in 1121. She was the first Empress of the House of Rousselle. A descendant of the first Monheric King, Guiot I,

She was a figure rooted in both magnificence and controversy, owing to the deaths of her first two husbands. Evidence has always strongly suggested that Isabella had at worst personal involvement, or at the least, a strong guiding hand towards the murders of Lord Montaimont and the Duc of Áncort.

She was the eldest child and only daughter of Gérald of Bordouai

Following the death of Léon the Morning Star, and the ascension of his young heir and only son Prince Lucien of Viane
