Isabella of France (1295-1358). A woman who, at the age of twelve, was forcibly married to Edward II, the most scandalous monarch of his time. A woman who later led, together with her favorite Roger Mortimer, an uprising against Edward and removed him from the throne. Why did her contemporaries nickname her the “French she-wolf”? Was she really distinguished by cruelty or simply stood out for her strong character? And why was her son the future great English king Edward III, at first who supported his mother in every possible way, later removed her from power and executed Lord Mortimer? Alison Ware talks about the life of one of the most extraordinary women of the Middle Ages in this book.
