ISABELLA'S REVENGE ON EDWARD THE SECOND

Matrimonial bliss eluded Edward and his French wife.  Isabella wanted revenge on the two favourites - the elder and the younger Hugh Despenser - whom Edward had raised to power and who treated her with contempt.  She hid her feelings at first, causing her enemies to underestimate her and to lower their guard.  Then, safely out of the country and with Prince Edward in her hands, she announced that "discarding my marriage garment, I shall assume the robes of widowhood and mourning until I am avenged".
    She achieved her wish.  She and her lover, Roger Mortimer, defeated and executed the Despensers, deposed the King and set up the boy Prince in his place as King Edward the Third in January, 1327.
    Later that year, the ex-king was murdered in the dungeon of Berkeley Castle.  His tomb soon became a place of pilgrimage, popular hatred having swiftly been transferred from his fallen ministers to the Queen's lover.  Isabella meanwhile had earned the epithet "the she-wolf of France".
