But now they were behaving exactly like Edward and Despenser before them. For two years Isabella and her lover ruled the country with a vicelike grip, meeting opposition with brutal suppression. And all the time Isabella kept her son, King Edward III, closely by her side, monitoring his friends and allowing him no freedom to act alone. Marlowe would later describe Isabella' s son as " a lamb, encompassed by wolves". But by 1330 Edward was 17, and the shewolf was about to discover that her offspring had claws of his own. Isabella' s day of reckoning came at Nottingham Castle. She had already become suspicious that her son was beginning to resist her control. So when the royal party took up residence here they had the guards redoubled about them. |
