And Isabel herself, when the issue arose, was all "FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON."
In re: disconcerting age differences, I don't know whether it makes it better or worse that Catherine was eleven years younger than Isabel! It probably does make it less weird if you consider that Richard II was not really old enough to be middle-aged when he was deposed, and that Henry was the same age as Richard and didn't live to be particularly old either (he was about 45 when he died).
