Isabella of France

Isabella of France (1295-1358) was a French princess who became Queen of England through her marriage to King Edward II. Known as the "She-Wolf of France," her life was marked by political intrigue and conflict. Dissatisfied with her husband's rule, she allied with her lover, Roger Mortimer, to overthrow Edward II. Together, they invaded England in 1326, deposed Edward, and ruled through their son, Edward III. Isabella's actions significantly impacted English history, contributing to the rise of her son and the eventual establishment of a more stable monarchy. She remains a fascinating figure in medieval history.
