【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特3

1308年,年仅12岁的法兰西公主伊莎贝拉嫁给了英格兰国王,成为英格兰王后。一个世纪之后,另一个年轻的法兰西女孩儿,安茹的玛格丽特,步了她的后尘。两个女人都在不知情的情况下,被卷入了混乱暴力的英格兰战争;这两个女人,都在不得已的情况下,走出幕后,力挽狂澜,控制了最终的王权。伊莎贝拉被指控谋杀,而玛格丽特的野心足以摧毁一切。其实,她们的坚持已见和毫不动摇,这些素质在男人身上就会显得正常无比,而如果是女人表现出这些素质,就会被认为是不近人情,甚至是荒谬变态的!

Today this seems an extraordinarily young age to be married off, but as a princess, Isabella had been prepared from the cradle for such a royal match.
As the daughter of the King of France, Isabella came to her marriage as the living embodiment of an Anglo-French alliance. She'd grown up amid the sophistication of the Parisian court watching her mother act as consort to one of the most powerful kings in Europe. She had a keen sense of her own majesty, and she knew exactly what should await her as Queen of England. What she found was quite different.
The signs were there from her very first public appearance, the Royal couple's coronation. Isabella should have been centre-stage, but her place was taken by a handsome young man named Piers Gaveston. He carried the King's crown into the Abbey, and sat with Edward at the coronation banquet.
