Synopsis

Queen Isabella, 1295-1358, wife of King Edward 11, as seen through her own eyes. A strong, intelligent, and beautiful woman, she suffers many humiliations because of her husband’s homosexuality. For many years she bravely tolerates this as best she can until her position becomes utterly intolerable. At that point, having returned to France, the land of her birth, she begins an affair with the exiled knight, Sir Roger Mortimer. Together, they take a huge gamble by invading England, intent on overthrowing Edward’s malign favourite, Hugh Despenser.
