Her marriage to the heir to England’s throne was designed to heal old political wounds between the two countries and in the years that followed she would become an important figure a determined and clever woman whose influence would come to last centuries. But Queen Isabella’s political machinations led generations of historians to malign her earning her a reputation as a ruthless schemer and an odious nickname “the She-Wolf of France.â€Now the acclaimed author of Eleanor of Aquitaine Alison Weir reexamines the life of Isabella of England history’s other notorious and charismatic medieval queen.

Together Isabella and Mortimer led the only successful invasion of English soil since the Norman Conquest of 1066 deposing Edward and ruling in his stead as co-regents for Isabella’s young son Edward III. Fate however was soon to catch up with Isabella and her lover. Many mysteries and legends have been woven around Isabella’s story. She was long condemned as an accessory to Edward II’s brutal murder in 1327 but recent research has cast doubt on whether that murder even took place.Isabella’s reputation then rests largely on the prejudices of monkish chroniclers and prudish Victorian scholars. Here Alison Weir gives a startling groundbreaking new perspective on Isabella in this first full biography in more than 150 years. In a work of extraordinary original research Weir effectively strips away centuries of propaganda legend and romantic myth and reveals a truly remarkable woman who had a profound influence upon the age in which she lived and the history of western Europe.Engaging vibrant alive with breathtaking detail and unforgettable characters Queen Isabella is biographical history at its finest.</p> Ballantine Books hardcover
