Angoulême, city of the Valois, also city of Isabelle d'Angoulême, née Taillefer, the countess-queen, who with her husband Jean sans Terre created the city in 1203-1204-1205, initiated the construction of the chasteau-neuf in 1228, a 3rd level of ramparts on the east side, towards St Martial, and today deserves to be recognized in its city of birth. She will soon have a statue in her likeness, perhaps a street in her name, a painted wall, an Isabelle path towards Villebois... recognition for the woman who also promoted the Magna Carta, the great charter of freedoms, the beginning of modern democracy praised by Winston Churchill. Isabelle is honored across the Channel, not in her native Angoumois. A big gap to fill!!!
