So was Robert De Beaumont black? Something this exceptional should be mentioned in the content. 80.195.187.235 (talk) 23:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no evidence that Isabel de Beaumont married Hervé de Montmorency (https://www.dib.ie/biography/montmorency-hervey-de-a6009); she would have been 25 years older than him. "The liaison between [King] Henry and Isabel ... is remarkable. Isabel’s relationship with the king cannot have gone unknown among contemporaries, for she bore him a daughter, but Isabel went onto make a respectable marriage within her own social group. In later life, as the wife of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Pembroke, she occupied herself with benefactions to religious foundations and seems to have lived out her life in comfort and honour."
