On September 24, 1326, Queen Isabella, wife and consort of Edward II, King of England, landed at Orwell on the coast of Suffolk with a contingent of troops commanded by her paramour, Sir Roger Mortimer. They proceeded to London where they defeated the supporters of her husband forcing him to flee with some of his men to Wales. He was captured at the Abbey of Neath, imprisoned at Berkeley castle, and according to popular belief, subsequently murdered.The story behind this remarkable coup has been shrouded in myth and legend for almost seven hundred years. This book relates the events from Queen Isabella's point of view. As the tale unfolds several facts uncovered in the historical record are developed into an entirely new and more plausible explanation for the downfall and death of Edward II.
