[00:01.037]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.
