Having read assessments on Edward II & what to me, seemed like a character assassination on his wife, I decided to look into her life & why she took the actions she did. This book tells you events & situations, powerful barons & a husband who really should have been a county knight. I'm also intrigued by the author's guesswork on what happened with Edward II & his apparent death. A fascinating insight into the medieval period.
