【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特4
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!❤ HINTS:
Gaveston
Isabella
Edward
Piers

Isabella was only 12, but she knew how a King's wife should be treated. And it was clear that her rightful place at Edward's side had already been taken, by Gaveston.
Isabella wasn't the only one who noticed the relationship between Edward and Piers. Her French uncles went home in a rage, insulted that Edward would have given some of their wedding presents to Gaveston.
A chronicler of the time wrote. "I do not remember to have heard that one man so loved another." Not only was Isabella finding that there were three people in her marriage, but Gaveston's preening and waspish presence was having an equally corrosive effect on the King's relationship with his nobles.加维斯顿穿着十分隆重,有个观察者写道,“他耀眼得像是战神马尔斯”。就算伊莎贝拉只有12岁,但作为一个王后所应得的礼遇,她还是知道的。显然,她的位置早就被一个叫做加维斯顿的男人取代了。
伊莎贝拉并不是唯一一个注意到爱德华和皮尔斯关系的人,她的叔叔在回程中勃然大怒,咒骂爱德华竟然把她的一些嫁妆赠给了加维斯顿。
当时的史学家这么写道,“我从来没见过有一个男人这么爱另一个男人”。问题不只是伊莎贝拉发现她的婚姻里出现了三个人,加维斯顿华丽且高调的出场,也在渐渐腐坏吞噬着过往和贵族们之间的关系。
