【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特15

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!

Isabella had done everything she could to be the perfect queen, but now, to her horror, she found that she too would be a victim of the new regime.
And it was Isabella's French heritage which left her acutely vulnerable. In the summer of 1324 a crisis erupted between England and France. England still held Gascony in the south of the country but Isabella's brother, the French King, was threatening to take it. It seemed war with France was imminent. Edward would order that all Frenchmen and women living in England should be arrested as enemy aliens. And his favourite, Despenser, seized on the opportunity to take Isabella's possessions, intern her French servants and separate her from her children.
