【BBC英国的那些女王们】伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特21
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 might have been an unfaithful wife and a rebel Queen, but she was also England's champion against Edward's tyranny, no she-wolf, but the saviour of her adopted country.
When news of the Queen's triumphal progress reached Edward and Despenser they were gripped with panic. They packed their saddlebags with gold and fled west, where they were captured, bedraggled figures in the Welsh rain. Isabella had Despenser brought before her. There's no question that she relished her moment of revenge. Despenser was hanged, then disembowelled and castrated when he was still alive. The supportive Queen had been transformed into a very different figure. Now Isabella was acting as if she were a King, inflicting brutal punishments on her enemies.
