Like so many rulers before and since she started to run the country for her own enrichment. Very few of the objects that Isabella owned still survive but one that does is this exquisite casket. It' s delicately engraved with the arms of England and France and it may have been a wedding present from her motherinlaw. It gives us a tiny glimpse of the extraordinary luxury with which Isabella surrounded herself. That, of course, was appropriate for a Queen, but the problem was that Isabella didn' t know where to stop. At the helm of English government, Isabella and Mortimer rewarded themselves not just with silver trinkets, but with vast estates and the contents of the royal treasury. |
