Best Answer

The woman who tried to poison King Louis IX (St. Louis) was Isabella of Angoulême.

She was the Queen Consort of King John of England, and after King John died, she moved to France. There, she developed a hatred for Blanche of Castile, the mother of King Louis IX.

Isabella seems to have entered into a plot to poison the king after Blanche snubbed her. Her plot discovered in 1244, and she fled to Fontevraud Abbey, where she asked for sanctuary. King Louis respected the abbey's status as a sanctuary, and Isabella died in the abbey of natural causes about two years later.
