At Bannockburn, Robert Bruce routed Edward's army. |
| [00:08.913] |
England had lost its hold on Scotland. |
| [00:12.457] |
Its borders were now overrun by Scot's raids |
| [00:15.981] |
and they couldn't be defended without help from the Earl of Lancaster, |
| [00:20.236] |
the man who had murdered Edward's beloved Gaveston. |
| [00:25.927] |
The threat of the Scots and the rift between Edward and Lancaster, |
| [00:28.815] |
made England a profoundly dysfunctional kingdom, |
| [00:32.150] |
and for Isabella it was a thankless task to be its Queen. |
| [00:35.860] |
But her unhappy situation was about to become much worse. |
| [00:39.945] |
A new favourite was emerging at Edward's court, |
| [00:42.493] |
who would be more of a threat to Isabella than Gaveston had ever been. |
