The color "Isabelle" is the yellow of soiled calico. A light yellow-dun horse is called an isabelle. The tale is attached to Isabel of Austria and Isabel of Castile. It is said that Isabel of Austria, daughter of Philip II., at the siege of Ostend vowed not to change her linen (underwear) till the place was taken. As the siege lasted three years, we may well suppose that it was somewhat soiled by three years' wear.
