Isabella SheWolf of France Queen of England Alison Weir 9780712641944 Books

Not one of her better ones....At times the book becomes tedious and bogged down when the author states every place the King and Queen visited and stayed. Entire pages are made up of "on this date they were here" and this date they are there, then they travel to someplace else. When the book is strictly narrative without the distraction of dates and places visited it is interesting.

I love reading about history! This book makes it feel as if your really there experiencing every detail! 👸💜 Can't wait to read the next book!
Alison Weir provides a fresh and factual perspective on Queen Isabella, wife of King Edward II of England. If you are into English history, I would highly recommend this book. The reading is not fast paced but full of actual events and occurances that made this time in history so important. Married around age 12, Isabella moves into adulthood as a woman who well understands politics of the time, the worth of a crown, and the power and wealth it brings. She effectively disposes of her husband, an English King, who has lead a life of immorality turning all English nobility against him. This intelligent woman finds a way over throw her husband replacing her son Edward III on the throne. I find myself going back and starting the book all over again. I can count on Alison Weir, in all of her historical biographies, to provide the reader with insightful and intriguing worlds bringing historical characters to life.
Here is an excellent book by Alison Weir. She breaks new ground with her balanced account of a woman who has long been vilified by history on the basis of some rather biased chroniclers who had a variety of agendas. I'm still not totally convinced that Edward II escaped Mortimer's murder plot, but she does make a very strong case for this theory. It is definitely a book which I will reread in the future.
I'm more a fan of the Tudors than the Plantagenets. That is, I was. This book changed that. Somehow, this author was able to reach back several centuries and breathe life into interesting characters. Great read, obviously researched most meticulously. It kept me fascinted from cover to cover.
This book reads like a novel,but contains so much fact that fiction is almost eliminated. Weir manages to analyze the references so convincingly that many ambiguity is eliminated. In a way this is better than many PHD works on this subject. Highly recommended.
A very fast moving historical tale about a crucial period in the history of the English monarchy by the queen of historical writers, Allison Weir. Ms. Weir covers this critical series of events in a smooth and understandable style that helps in sorting out the multiple names used to designate actors in the political movements that lead to the removal of an English king while keeping a discrete description of the affair between Isabella of France and Sir Roger Mortimer as they rule Britain.
Isabella of France who married Edward 2 of England was brought up by a father who was king and acted as such. Married off to the king of England at a young age, she gradually realized what an utter failure she had married. Isabella used her influence to help depose the worthless king and put their son on the throne. She did what she had to do in her time but did it as a woman acting far ahead of her time.
Not one of her better ones....At times the book becomes tedious and bogged down when the author states every place the King and Queen visited and stayed. Entire pages are made up of "on this date they were here" and this date they are there, then they travel to someplace else. When the book is strictly narrative without the distraction of dates and places visited it is interesting.
