His wife, left to keep the castle in his absence, |
| [00:03.737] |
was alarmed by Isabella's sudden arrival, |
| [00:07.203] |
and refused to let her in. |
| [00:10.766] |
Isabella was left out in the cold, and she was furious. |
| [00:14.418] |
She never lacked a sense of her own majesty, |
| [00:17.275] |
and now she ordered her men to force their way in. |
| [00:20.223] |
In response, the archers on the castle walls began to shoot, |
| [00:23.911] |
and within minutes, six of Isabella's soldiers lay dead. |
| [00:31.246] |
Isabella's confrontation at Leeds gave her husband the chance |
| [00:34.753] |
to send a message to all the rebel lords. |
| [00:38.852] |
The violent reception of his queen, |
| [00:41.317] |
Edward said, was treason, |
| [00:43.488] |
and he sent troops and siege engines to attack the castle. |
| [00:48.737] |
And when Lady Badlesmere threw open the gates to appeal for mercy, |
| [00:52.735] |
she and her young children were dispatched as prisoners to the Tower, |
| [00:57.109] |
while her men were hanged from the castle walls. |
