伊莎贝拉与玛格丽特8

Some of the lords, led by the powerful Earl of Lancaster,

had seized Gaveston and sentenced him to death in a show trial.

Gaveston was taken out onto a sunny hillside near Warwick

and his head hacked from his body.

Isabella's rival was gone,

and now her position was about to become even stronger.

On 12th of November 1312, Isabella went into labour.

Shortly before six the next morning, she gave birth to a boy.

The 17-year-old Queen kept her own counsel, 17

but she had already learned a great deal.

Her husband, she now knew, had much passion and little judgment.

His nobles were men to be reckoned with.

And now, with her son in her arms,

Isabella herself held the key

that would transform her power as Queen.
