Скачать или смотреть The Forgotten Queen of England – Isabella of France, Married at 12, Widowed at 22

She was only twelve years old when she walked down the grand aisle of Westminster Abbey to marry a king twelve years her senior. Crowned Queen of England before she understood the weight of the crown, Isabella of France became a political pawn in one of medieval Europe's most tragic royal marriages. From child bride to isolated queen, from humiliated wife to vengeful widow, her short but extraordinary life was marked by suffering, survival, and ultimately, spectacular revenge.

This is the heartbreaking and shocking true story of a girl who was never allowed to be a child—whose innocence was sacrificed on the altar of political alliance, whose voice was silenced by court protocol, and whose spirit was nearly broken by systematic abuse and neglect. But Isabella of France was not destined to remain a victim forever.

Discover how a terrified twelve-year-old French princess transformed into the "She-Wolf of France"—a woman so feared that she brought down kings, executed her tormentors, and ruled England with an iron fist. Her story reveals the brutal realities of medieval royal marriage, where children were treated as diplomatic currency and women's lives were considered worthless beyond their ability to produce heirs.

From the gilded prison of Westminster Palace to the battlefields of civil war, from public humiliation to ultimate triumph, Isabella's journey exposes the dark machinery of medieval politics and the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit when pushed beyond all endurance.
