【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特14
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:
Edward
Boroughbridge
Yorkshire
Earl of Lancaster

And in March 1322, at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, Edward finally got his revenge for the years of humiliation when his army defeated and captured the Earl of Lancaster.
As the greatest chronicler of the reign recalled, "The Earl of Lancaster once cut off Piers Gaveston's head and now by the King's command the Earl himself had lost his head. Thus, perhaps not unjustly, the Earl received measure for measure."
Isabella's husband was making very clear the dreadful penalties that now faced anyone who dared to oppose him. England's prisons filled with the wives and children of the rebels, while aristocratic corpses were left to rot on gallows across the country.
