Isabella of France, Queen of England - A Crowded Marriage (part 1/2)

Isabella of France became Queen of England when she was only 12 years old, and she found a husband who was was not interested in her - both because of her age and her gender. From her first step on English soil she was consistently ignored by the King, who much preferred to spend time with his court favourites. Isabella grew up to be a strong and formidable character, and soon King Edward 2nd would push her too far.Sources/Further ReadingWarner, Kathryn: Isabella of France, the rebel queen - the story of the queen who deposed her husband Edward IIWeir, Alison: Isabella, She Wolf of France, Queen of EnglandTurner, James: Battle, Betrayal and Baliol - the Struggle for Scotland and the Battle of Annan https://www.medievalists.net/2024/12/battle-betrayal-balliol-scotland/Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_of_France#In_retirement,_1330–1358Isabella: She Wolf of France and the death of Edward 2nd https://www.timeref.com/episodes/isabella_shewolf_of_france_and_death_of_edward_ii.htmUsilton, Larry W.: Isabella of France:https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/biography/isabella-france Hosted on Acast.
