It is the night before Christmas & you're just about to snuggle up into bed for one last sleep before the big day...
...
Isabella of France married Edward II in January 1308, & 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 & 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 & 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 & Mortimer ruled England during Edward III’s minority until he overthrew them in October 1330.
