I'm now on my way to Leeds Castle, in Kent to find out about Edward the second
and there is luck with his missus Isabella and this was one of their many
royal castles I mean to be fair it's just another day and have a castle for
Mina when you've just walked on it oh now that's proper hex yeah that's like
it all back West Castle I've ever seen in my life
and I've seen a few yeah lovely nice just gonna get amongst it
great big mouths do love a moat they always been a fan of the moats we're
gonna make a little treacle called Elizabeth Elizabeth being the academic
the historian right now got old dear white so we got an archway coming up oh
my god is that getting through here
Elizabeth my sweet fair maiden you impressed with me Rowling Oh silence
they're lovely I'll try a truck no it's all gone wrong my little sweets I'll
talk it out it was some grace that's a king would little bridge over there
could have bowled across Edwige was the real man of the people and he liked
rowing he likes swimming he likes digging ditches when he got the
opportunity and touching people's houses he liked the common people as far from a
royal prince or a king as you could possibly get with his hobby something
everyone thought it was really strange really young kingly as you know King
come event affects your ass imagine telling your neighbors done yelling
King fetch my roof there no one had ever yeah
nice arch you can't beat the story of Eddie the second in medieval history him
and his wife Isabella they are the most dysfunctional couple towards the end of
the relationship you can possibly come across it's so real it's full of drama
intrigue murder its I mean it's a soap opera it's a real sort of EastEnders
moment sort of the same really my relatives I didn't quite know which one
he was because they all look quite feminine looking but obviously this must
be Isabella that's it so Isabella is probably the most vivid an interesting
medieval woman that you'll find in your ancestry we remember her now Isabella
the she-wolf of France and that nickname itself says a lot about how people view
women in the past and how they have been viewed because Isabella was a strong
woman she didn't just stay at home with her sewing she didn't just do what her
male relatives told her she took political action she's a real politician
and took action on her own behalf like that modern day woman modern day woman
and because of that she's remembered very unfavorably and has this terrible
nickname Isabella the she-wolf I quite like it out with you bloody dispenser
first I was pleased bloody Gaveston and now it's you shop his bloody balls off I
loved you for over ten long years you only slept with me because you wanted an
heir yeah well I should have never married an
English bloke can we just stop chatting alone especially not one that prefers
guys to girls yeah Roger Roger
it's more than me we're just pals who's Roger Roger de Mortimer is my lover okay
now down my castle I like it in there anyway
I get the nickname now little bit strong was it and was Edward okay well we don't
know for sure he had these very high I'm sorry mixing
up a little bit yeah yeah I mean he had very close
relationships with his favorites so there was piers Gaveston first and then
Hugh Despenser who Isabella was obviously talking about then
sorry Isabella I love another man it's a bit of a love triangle it really is like
a soap opera then isn't it good store of EastEnders er what's your take no so
I've got a picture um I should warn you it's a bit grisly oh
dear let's have a look at the smudge there you go ah okay so what's going on
here then so down there is Isabella and look at that small figure just lying
down there Oh what yeah yeah that is HUGE uh Spencer the younger know if
they're taking his his Winkle yeah she did exactly what she told you she was
gonna do just a minute ago so an executioner chopped off
Hugh's penis and his testicles while he was still conscious and still alive and
they then threw it into the fire below well Isabella I'll never love you like I
love you so you know you can take his Winkle and you can burn it and do
whatever you want to do but er I think that was his true love wasn't it she
knew it why on earth would she dismember him and talk to him in such a way
medieval punishments work brutal and painful but it's rare to have a
castration and I think it shows that Isabella thought that the relationship
between Hugh and Edward was sexual and she was furious about it that's up they
were on the worst deaths I've ever heard in it yeah she wasn't me five for a
little bit and that five minutes later a higher interest in it how it works with
families
