Philip IV, king of the Capetian dynasty of France, was known as "Philip the Beautiful Man" when he was still alive, but he was not only handsome, he unified France during his reign and suppressed the pope, while Italy without papal restraint ushered in the Renaissance.
Isabella, Philip IV's favorite daughter and Philip IV's longest-lived daughter, received a good education from an early age and showed her ingenuity, and some people once said of Philip IV's children: Of the king's four children, the most suitable to be king is this Princess Isabella.
However, Isabella also escaped the fate of political marriage, at the end of the 13th century, England, was defeated by France, Philip IV was ambitious, Gasconi almost became his bag, but Philip IV was busy with the struggle with the Pope, so in 1303, France and England signed a peace treaty, Philip IV promised Isabella to the Crown Prince of England.
Isabella, however, did not receive the respect she deserved in England, and the Crown Prince ascended the throne as Edward II in 1307, but he did not want to run the country, and his private life was unobstructed, and Edward II's favorite vassal at that time was Pierce Gaviston, although many people believed that Pierce Gaveston was Edward II's lover.
The following year, Isabella and Edward II held a coronation ceremony, but the limelight was taken over by Pierce Gaveston, who humiliated Isabella in front of members of the French royal family, and Edward II transferred part of Isabella's dowry and his uncle's gifts to exclusive.
Isabella was dissatisfied, but she still had to live with her unloving husband Edward II, and in 1312 Isabella became pregnant with a child, and in the same year, under the leadership of the Count of Lancaster, the nobles executed Pierce Gaviston.
Isabella, whose position was gradually consolidated, began to think about her kingdom, peace would allow Britain's economy to develop more than war, but Edward II failed to live up to her efforts, and Edward II launched a war that caused England to lose control of Scotland.
However, Edward II obviously did not care much about such an outcome, and when England fell into famine and animal plague, Edward II was still spending his days drinking, and a new favorite hurthus Penther appeared at his side, and Isabella was still fulfilling the duties of his wife and queen, and Isabella was still impeccable.
In 1322, ten years after The Execution of Pierce Gaveston, Edward II defeated the Earl of Lancaster, and for a time the blood flowed, and the prisons of England were littered with the corpses of nobles.
However, France still had a crush on Britain, and although the King of France at this time was Isabella's brother Charles IV, Isabella's situation was even worse after the outbreak of crisis between England and France, and her property was taken away by Edward II's favorite minister, Hughes Penther, and Edward II also detained her French and servants, and did not allow her to stay with his children.
Isabella was utterly disappointed in Edward II and soberly realized that the man would never treat him well. Edward II also needed his wife to negotiate with Charles IV, so Isabella was able to leave England, after which she refused to return.
According to relevant records, when Isabella refused to return to England, she declared: "I feel that marriage is a close connection between man and woman, and that husband and wife should be happy and harmonious, but someone is crowded between me and my husband, and tries to destroy this relationship, I will abandon my wife's attire and put on the black robe of widow mourning for her dead husband, unless I have a great vendetta, unless this person disappears, I will never return to my country." ”
At the end of 1325, Isabella formed a political alliance with Roger Mortimer, a political enemy of Edward II. But in the eyes of the British royal family, women should be perfect, and Isabella's mother-in-law Queen Eleanor is a very virtuous wife, so Isabella is called "French she-wolf", and anyone must spit on her.
But Isabella did not care, she had not been loved by her husband, not even respected, she did her duty, did her duty as queen, Edward II was not at all moved, and let the Pope put pressure on Charles IV to expel Isabella, and Isabella was destined to fight back, not only against Hughes Penther, but also Edward II.
In September 1326, Isabella invaded England in the name of her son, Edward II's power collapsed, Heuders Penser was castrated and later hanged, and Edward II lost his throne and was imprisoned.
Although there are rumors that Edward II's ass was stabbed into the ass by a red-hot iron rod, historians who have studied that history believe that Edward II died at the hands of Roger Mortimer is highly probable.
However, Roger Mortimer was executed in 1330 by Isabella's son, the new King Edward III of England, and Isabelle still enjoyed the treatment she deserved in the royal family.
