In this episode, Charlie Higson delves into the life of a 12 year old girl bride, who went on to rule England.

Isabella of France led an invasion that ultimately resulted in the deposition of her King and husband, Edward II, in January 1327.

Isabella is a fascinating character and assisting Charlie to understand her motivation and drive, we welcome the bestselling historian Alison Weir, author of Isabella: She-Wolf of France, Queen of England.
