No it is not an Error. In coimbra the church where she is buried, there lies her story. This is true, she is the peacemaker saint of the poor. This is why she was cannonized a saint.

I picked Isabel for my Confirmation name because I was so inspired by her dedication to help the sick. I mean, she walked aound the streets feeding the hungry and then, her husband forbid her to feed them anymore, but she snuck out and fed them anyways. What a brave woman. I am so inspired by her.
