In this vibrant biography; acclaimed author Alison Weir reexamines the life of Isabella of England; one of history’s most notorious and charismatic queens. Isabella arrived in London in 1308; the spirited twelve-year-old daughter of King Philip IV of France. Her marriage to the heir to England’s throne was designed to heal old political wounds between the two countries; and in the years that followed she became an important figure; a determined and clever woman whose influence would come to last centuries. Many myths and legends have been woven around Isabella’s story; but in this first full biography in more than 150 years; Alison Weir gives a groundbreaking new perspective.
