So, it was more out of duty then out of any sexual or romantic desire as we modern people tend to misjudge. If they could afford to wait, they certainly would do so. One example being Queen Margaret Tudor. She was given to the 30-year-old Scottish King, James IV, at the age of 13/14 but other than consummate the marriage he didn't want to even touch her until she was of age when they started having children.

Isabella was a strong young queen from the first. It didn't take the Despensers to do that. She'd already been surplanted by Piers Gaveston so held a certain amount of disdain for her husband, the king. After all she was a Capet, and the Capet were just as ruthless. Also, there seems to be evidence that Edward II was actually rescued by loyalists and spent the rest of his life as a monk.

I think Mortimer by Mortimer might mention that too. He was allegedly living in northern Italy. No other evidence though.

I love how I can see how these stories have influenced so much of my favourite nerd culture.

I love the film’s actors in this film. The player of Isabella looks very French and the player of Edward, especially when in crown resembles Edward II most remarkably. But it’s the storyline that I love the most. The Hollywood exploitation of the alleged homosexuality of Edward and Piers has been unreasonable… in that whether or not it was there; it’s Edwards’s naive politics (and awkward interpersonal relationships)… that cost him so much.

Do you ever watch or read things about history and think, “wow maybe there’s more psychopaths in history than most people think”? Because I do. Because a lot of events in history go beyond simple incompetence or arrogance

A lot of history makes a lot more sense once you realize that most people in those days were probably suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome which involves things like poor impulse control, poor anger management, bad cause-effect reasoning..

@@aguyhere7945 Interesting observation of a likely situation, but it relies on the woman being the drunkard, so is it really a fact. Fetal alcohol syndrome requires the pregnant woman to be the one imbibing during the pregnancy not the male. FAS is also caused by other drug use by the pregnant woman besides alcohol. It doesn't occur because of the male being a alcoholic or drug user though.

After watching the last episode it's pretty clear that Tywin Lannister is strongly based off Edward I. He was a much stronger ruler then his father, restored honor to his dynasty, was tactically brilliant, a terrible father, and died at an inconvenient time.

The Lancasters send their regards.

The Traditional display of the naked body (loin cloth) of the king publically was to show no wounds of foul play. So it was necessary to devise a suitable death with this in mind.

Isabella's like Arya+Visenya with Tywin's brain and Lyanna's courage. LOVE HER!

If Edward just told the Despensers that Isabelle and their children are off limits, she might not have rebelled. She would think that all she needs to do is to wait for Edward to die in some battle with France or Scotland then her heir will take over, and she could have power that way. But this royal idiot didn't even try to protect his own wife, who was loyal to him through thick and thin. He deserved to lose everything.

I like how all the actors in this documentary speak french

I love learning about stuff like this. Evil and wickedness always devour themselves in their lust and anger. No more fitting end.

Great Documentary

This brings back memories from The Accursed Kings saga... The episode about Edward the II, the III, Isabelle the She-wolf and Mortimer was the worst episode of the serie, especially that it felt especially irrelevant after the electric fascinating civil-war atmosphere the series had before... (Robert d'Artois I love you) But you managed to make it interesting, and even more, great !

If I can, I would love to reside in the British National Archives. 😍

She was the daughter of the famous Philip IV who believed in nothing but in increasing his power. He loved only two people : his daughter Isabella and his wife Joan. He despised his sons and everybody else. His daughter was like him. Cold-blooded.
