She was known as the "She-wolf of France". (Cannon)
There was the 14th-century union between Edward II and his queen, Isabella of France. It was a relationship not without its stresses, including the fact that Edward had a stable of perfumed male
lovers. Isabella was sufficiently dissatisfied with this arrangement that she staged a rebellion with her lover in 1326, forced her husband to renounce the throne in favor of their son, Edward III,
then had the former king
murdered in a particularly distressing way involving a red-hot poker. In the end Edward II got the point. (Internet)
She was so angry when her brother, the French king, refused to offer her and her lover refuge during her exile that she sought shelter with Count William and his help in invading England in 1326 to
topple her husband, Edward II, from his throne. (The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy, by J. Cannon & R. Griffiths, 1988)
Around 1326, the queen had taken her son to the Continent, allied with Roger Mortimer, and led an invasion against her husband. (The Oxford Illustrated History of the British Monarchy, by J. Cannon
& R. Griffiths, 1988)
Or, died at Castle Rising, Norfolk, England, and interred at Grey Friars Church in Newgate, London, England.
