[00:01.504]From this moment
[00:02.543]the lords who opposed Edward could be in no doubt
[00:05.056]that the King intended the conflict to be a fight to the death.
[00:09.574]And in March 1322, at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire,
[00:12.791]Edward finally got his revenge for the years of humiliation
[00:16.737]when his army defeated and captured the Earl of Lancaster.
[00:27.378]As the greatest chronicler of the reign recalled,
[00:31.282]"The Earl of Lancaster once cut off Piers Gaveston's head
[00:34.701]and now by the King's command the Earl himself had lost his head.
[00:39.654]Thus, perhaps not unjustly, the Earl received measure for measure."
[00:47.628]Isabella's husband was making very clear the dreadful penalties
[00:51.715]that now faced anyone who dared to oppose him.
[00:57.279]England's prisons filled with the wives and children of the rebels,
[01:01.258]while aristocratic corpses were left to rot on gallows across the country.
