Isabel the Fair

Isabel the Fair

"Turns a brilliant light on one of the lustiest and one of the most dramatic periods of English history." - Philadelphia Inquirer

Isabel the Fair, so called because of her beauty, the daughter of King Philip of France, seemed to have the perfect life as wife of Edward II of England.

But nothing in the Plantagenet court was as it seemed.

Their marriage would prove to be the undoing of both of them.

Edward loved no one more than Piers Gaveston, the Earl of Cornwall.

Isabel finds herself taking a backseat to the two lovers, a position that did not sit well with the beautiful and resentful Isabel, whose only desire had been to have a happy marriage.

This love triangle would lead England to civil warâ€¦

And Isabel would come to be known as â€œThe She-Wolf of England.â€

Fans of Allison Weir and Philippa Gregory are sure to love Margaret Campbell Barnesâ€™ Isabel the Fair along with her many other historical novels set during the Plantagenet and Tudor reigns.
