Isabella of France married Edward II in January 1308, and
afterwards became one of the most notorious women in English
history. In 1325, she was sent to her homeland to negotiate a peace
settlement between her husband and her brother Charles IV, king of
France. She refused to return. Instead, she began a relationship
with her husband's deadliest enemy, the English baron Roger
Mortimer. With the king's son and heir, the future Edward III,
under their control, the pair led an invasion of England which
ultimately resulted in Edward II's forced abdication in January
1327. Isabella and Mortimer ruled England during Edward III's
minority until he overthrew them in October 1330. A rebel against
her own husband and king, and regent for her son, Isabella was a
powerful, capable and intelligent woman. She forced the first ever
abdication of a king in England, and thus changed the course of
English history. Examining Isabella's life with particular focus on
her revolutionary actions in the 1320s, this book corrects the many
myths surrounding her and provides a vivid account of this most
fascinating and influential of women.
