【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特12
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:
Isabella
Edward
Despenser

She won a temporary truce, but little more than two months later, with terrible irony, it was Isabella herself who precipitated the country into Civil War.
In October 1321, Isabella was on her way to Canterbury on pilgrimage. At the end of a hard day's ride, she found herself at the gates of Leeds Castle, a mighty stronghold built near the Kent coast, seeking shelter for the night. To welcome the Queen as a guest would normally be an honour, but the castle's lord, Bartholomew Badlesmere, was one of the rebels who had marched on London.伊莎贝拉刚刚生下她的第四个小孩，再一次，她不得不再度放下姿态，从中斡旋，说服爱德华驱逐德斯彭瑟，谈判取得短暂胜利，不过仅仅两个月不到，一件令人讽刺的事发生了。伊莎贝拉自己竟把这个国家投入内战的熔炉中去。
1321年10月，伊莎贝拉在前往坎特伯雷进行朝圣的途中，在结束了一天的艰苦形成后，她来到了利兹堡门前，它是肯特海岸边上一个极为重要的要塞，她打算在那儿过夜。通常来说，迎接王后的到来是一件无比荣耀的事，然而城堡的堡主巴塞洛缪·巴泽斯莫尔，正是伦敦那场暴动的参与者之一。
