Notes:

In 1325 Queen Isabella accompanied the Prince of Wales to France, where, in accordance with feudal custom, he did homage to king Charles IV for the fief of Aquitaine. Isabella, who desired to depose the le Despensers, allied herself with some barons who had been exiled by Edward. In 1326, with their leader, Roger de Mortimer, Isabella raised an army and invaded England. Edward and his favorites fled, but his wife's army pursued and executed the le Despensers and imprisoned Edward. In January 1327, Parliament forced Edward to resign and proclaimed the Prince of Wales king as Edward III. On September 21 of that year Edward II was murdered by his captors at Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire.

Isabella married King Edward II PLANTAGENET, King Of England in 1308 in France. Edward (son of King Edward I "Longshanks" PLANTAGENET and Queen Eleanor DE CASTILLE, Queen Consort of England) was born on 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarvon Castle, Caernarvon, Caernarvonshire, Wales; died on 21 Sep 1327 in Berkeley Castle, Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England; was buried on 20 Dec 1327 in Cathedral, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England.

Notes:

Philip IV (of France), called The Fair (1268-1314), king of France (1285-1314), known for his conflict with the papacy. The son and successor of King Philip III, he was born in Fontainebleau. Through marriage he became the ruler of Navarre and Champagne. Between 1294 and 1296 he seized Guienne, in southwestern France, a possession of Edward I, king of England. In 1297 war ensued with England and with Flanders, England's ally. Under the terms of a truce made in 1299, Philip withdrew from Guienne and Edward withdrew from Flanders, leaving it to the French. A revolt broke out at Brugge (Bruges), however, and at the Battle of Courtrai in 1302, the French army was disastrously defeated by Flemish burghers.

Philip married Countess Joanna (Jeanne) DE NAVARRE. Joanna was born in Jan 1272 in Navarre, Spain; died on 2 Apr 1305 in Paris, Vincennes, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
