[00:00.30] [00:01.00]Now ...
[00:00.30]
[00:01.00]Now she was an independent player on the European stage
[00:04.50]and she arranged the marriage of her son to Philippa, daughter of the count of Hainault
[00:10.09]who brought troops and ships as her dowry
[00:14.24]On 22nd September
[00:17.41]at the head of 100 ships filled with soldiers
[00:20.61]Isabella, Mortimer and Prince Edward set sail for England.
[00:32.04]When Isabella stepped onto the Suffolk coast
[00:34.92]she was taking up arms against her King and husband, with her lover at her side
[00:41.00]She could hardly have been more openly defying the conventions of female virtue
[00:46.44]And yet she wasn't met with outrage and vilification
[00:50.20]Instead, she was greeted with open arms
[00:55.03]While there was no alternative to Edward's rule
[00:57.64]his people hadn't known how to resist
[01:01.41]Isabella wasn't challenging him in her own name,
[01:04.19]she, after all, had no right to the throne,
[01:07.41]but in the name of their 13-year-old son, Prince Edward
[01:10.06]
