The first full-length biography of a much maligned - but astonishingly colourful - Queen of England. In Newgate Street, in the city of London, stand the meagre ruins of Christ Church. On the same site once stood a royal mausoleum set to rival Westminster Abbey in the fourteenth century. Among the many crowned heads buried there was Isabella of France, Edward II's queen - one of the most notorious femme fatales in history. But how did she acquire her evil reputation? And is it justified? Alison Weir's engrossing biography sets out to put the record straight...©2005 Alison Weir (P)2005 WF Howes Ltd Europe Great Britain Politicians Politics & Activism England Royalty Thought-Provoking Tudor

I loved this as much as I had the book. Having become a night time listener this was, for me, an ideal saga of a strong and powerful woman. As always Alison Weir brings a wealth of facts into the narrative but never distracts from the story. The narrator was just right.

I was a bit apprehensive about this book due to my hatred of historical romance fiction, which Weir is known for, but this book was so well researched and interesting. I wasn't entirely convinced about her argument that Edward the second hadn't been murdered, but had in fact, run away, but it's not something that detracts from the overall book. Whilst other reviewers have complained that the book is bogged down in unnecessary detail, for me, this was incredibly interesting, as it helped me really imagine the world that Isabella inhabited in her day-to-day life. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Excellent
