Isabella of France was the daughter, sister, wife and mother to Kings; acutely conscious of her royal bloodline and dignity, she was not going to be pushed around. When her husband and his hated favourite insulted and belittled her, she took matters into her own hands and did something no woman has done before or since - launched an invasion of England.
