Answer
Isabeau of Bavaria gained the label of "philanderess" in contemporary accounts due to her perceived promiscuity after the death of her husband Charles VI. However, modern historians tend to attribute the rumors spread about her romantic and political liaisons to the misogynistic climate of the time and political propaganda aimed at tarnishing her influence during the reign of Henry VI.
