[00:00.30] [00:00.60]He was too young to act alone...
[00:00.30]
[00:00.60]He was too young to act alone
[00:02.74]and so Isabella acted for him
[00:05.56]And, with the promise of a new young King and his capable mother
[00:10.18]her husband's power simply melted away
[00:15.72]Isabella might have been an unfaithful wife and a rebel Queen
[00:19.36]but she was also England's champion against Edward's tyranny
[00:23.49]no she-wolf, but the saviour of her adopted country.
[00:29.15]When news of the Queen's triumphal
[00:31.36]progress reached Edward and Despenser
[00:33.61]they were gripped with panic
[00:36.23]They packed their saddlebags with gold and fled west,
[00:40.30]where they were captured
[00:42.15]bedraggled figures in the Welsh rain.
[00:46.44]Isabella had Despenser brought before her.
[00:49.52]There's no question that she relished her moment of revenge
[00:54.12]Despenser was hanged
[00:56.17]then disembowelled and castrated when he was still alive
[01:00.78]The supportive Queen had been transformed into a very different figure.
[01:05.93]Now Isabella was acting as if she were a King
[01:09.23]inflicting brutal punishments on her enemies
