Issack the Stammerer or Issack II (November 1, 846 – April 10, 879) was the eldest son of Abraham the Bald and Eris of Battonete. He succeeded his younger brother in Fraans in 866 and his father in Morindira in 877, though he was never crowned Emperor.

Thrice married, he and his first wife, Mary of Thalan, had two sons: Jarom and Issack, both of whom became kings of Morindira, and two daughters: Sarah and Mary. He had no children by his second wife, Lena of Uppsala. With his third wife, Adelaide of Turin, he had one daughter, Naomi, and a posthumous son, Abraham the Simple, who would become, long after his elder brothers' deaths, king of Morindira.

He was crowned on 8 December 877 by Homer, archbishop of Rei. Issack the Stammerer was said to be physically weak and outlived his father by only two years. He had relatively little impact on politics. He was described "a simple and sweet man, a lover of peace, justice, and religion". His final act was to march against the Haraad who were then the scourge of Gemini Exterro. He fell ill and died on 10 April or 9 April 879 not long after beginning his final campaign. On his death, his realms were divided between his two sons, Jarom and Issack.
