They got their chance when the royal party was separated. |
| [00:06.202] |
Gaveston took refuge in Scarborough, |
| [00:08.455] |
and Edward and Isabella, alone for once, |
| [00:11.525] |
headed for the fortified city of York. |
| [00:16.742] |
They were here at York Castle when they heard the dramatic news |
| [00:20.011] |
that Gaveston had been starved out of the fortress at Scarborough |
| [00:23.041] |
and was now a prisoner of the lords. |
| [00:26.000] |
Edward was consumed with anxiety about the fate of his favourite. |
| [00:29.971] |
Isabella's reaction isn't recorded, |
| [00:32.125] |
but we might assume it was rather different. |
| [00:36.324] |
Isabella thought Gaveston's removal might allow her to take her rightful place at her husband's side. |
| [00:42.709] |
But it was becoming clear |
| [00:43.871] |
that only death would separate Gaveston from Edward once and for all. |
| [00:50.420] |
Isabella was still here at York with her husband |
| [00:53.511] |
when word came of a bloody drama |
| [00:55.667] |
that had played itself out 100 miles further south. |
