Some of the lords, led by the powerful Earl of Lancaster, |
| [00:04.912] |
had seized Gaveston and sentenced him to death in a show trial. |
| [00:12.049] |
Gaveston was taken out onto a sunny hillside near Warwick |
| [00:15.611] |
and his head hacked from his body. |
| [00:22.760] |
Isabella's rival was gone, |
| [00:25.060] |
and now her position was about to become even stronger. |
| [00:30.278] |
On 12th of November 1312, Isabella went into labour. |
| [00:34.334] |
Shortly before six the next morning, she gave birth to a boy. |
| [00:38.758] |
The 17-year-old Queen kept her own counsel, 17 |
| [00:41.400] |
but she had already learned a great deal. |
| [00:43.665] |
Her husband, she now knew, had much passion and little judgment. |
| [00:47.563] |
His nobles were men to be reckoned with. |
| [00:50.333] |
And now, with her son in her arms, |
| [00:52.449] |
Isabella herself held the key |
| [00:54.350] |
that would transform her power as Queen. |
