ISABELLE OF FRANCE: HOW THE ADULTEROUS QUEEN BECAME A TYRANT!

She was called the “French She-Wolf.” She went down in history as a murderous queen who overthrew and brutally executed her own husband, King Edward II. Married off at the age of 12, she endured years of humiliation: her husband openly preferred the company of his male favorites. But Isabella was no ordinary victim. Having inherited the iron will of her father, King Philip the Fair of France, she conceived the unthinkable: a military coup. With the help of her lover, the rebellious baron Roger Mortimer, she led an invasion of England, overthrew the king, and seized power. And then she ordered him to be killed — rumored to be with a red-hot iron rod, in mockery of his sins. Becoming regent for her young son, she ruled the country through terror until her own son arrested her and executed Mortimer. This is the story of how personal revenge, betrayal, and thirst for power created one of the most terrifying tyrants in English history.
