ORIGINS OF THE SPANISH ROYAL FAMILY

ESPECIALLY THE IMAGE QUEEN URACCA OF CASTILE AND LEON

HAS CLEARLY ARAB FEATURES

AS INTERMARRIAGE BETWEEN MOORISH AND SPANISH

NOBLES, AS ROYAL HOUSES, TOOK PLACE, IT IS

NOT UNLIKELY, THAT ISABELLA OF FRANCE SHOULD

HAVE INHERITED ”ARAB FEATURES;; OF HER MOTHER,

JOAN OF NAVARRE, WHO WAS PARTLY OF SPANISH ORIGIN

ISABELLA OF FRANCE COULD ALSO HAVE INHERITED ”ARAB FEATURES” ALSO

FROM HER FATHER, PHILIP IV, KING OF FRANCE,

THE SHE WOLF OF FRANCE/REACTION ON THE COMMENTS

OF KATHRYN WARNER/EDWARDTHE SECONDBLOGSPOT

UPDATE

Kathryn Warner has, in my view a great factual knowledge

of the Edward II period [first half of the fourteenth century] but

sometimes a poor insight in the historical events or human reactions, as shows itself in her comments on ”the She Wolf

of France”

Her arguments often lack historical depth.

By the way, Kathryn Warner deleted my comment……

Silly, in those Internet times…………..

TO MY READERS

INTRODUCTION

As you will see, I’ll give a reaction on the comments of

Kathryn Warner, historian and writer of among else

”Edward II, an Unconventional King” and

”Isabella of France” [wife of Edward II].

Actually, she reacted on an historical fiction novel

”She Wolf of France”, about Isabella of France, fifth

in a series about the French Royal House in the first half

of the fourteenth century ”The Accursed Kings”, referring

to the ”curse of the Templars”

[See under Philip IV]

Below you will see her post [on her website] as my comment.

But I realized, that you only can follow the discussion, when you

know something of the background.

So underlying you find information about Isabella of

France and her father, King Philip IV

But who knows already a lot about the French and English history in

the beginning of the 14th century, in casu the history of Isabella of

France and her father, King Philip IV, can skip this information

and go directly to

[EdwardthesecondBlogspot]/Philip IV of France/29 november 1314: Death of Philip IV of France

29 NOVEMBER 1314: DEATH OF PHILIP IV OF FRANCE

To my readers:

FOREWORD AND BACKGROUND:

Since the French King Philip IV is seen on the Edward II Blogspot,

hereby some information about

the relation between the French King Philip IV [Philip The Fair] and the English King Edward II

And by the way:

It was because the succeeding sons of Philip IV had no male heirs,

the Hundred Years war between England and France was sparked:

The relation:

King Philip IV was the father in law of King Edward II, since

his daughter Isabella of France [mother of the later King Edward III]

was married off [by her father Philip IV] to Edward II

SPARKING THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR/THE SALIC LAWS IN

FRANCE AND THE ENGLISH CLAIM TO THE FRENCH THRONE:

After the death of King Charles IV, the last surviving son of king Philip IV

and the uncle of Edward III [whose mother was the sister to Charles IV],

Edward III’s mother Isabella of France [the English Queen Isabella] claimed

the French throne for her son Edward III, being the closest relative

[nephew] of the late king Charles IV.

However, apart from the fact, the French nobility would never applaud

an English king ruling over France, Edward III could not inherit the French throne

anyway,

since in France, Salic laws [the right of succession, which exclude females]

were passed in 1316 by King Philip V [predecessor of King Charles IV]

And Edward only could would inherit the French throne by his mother Isabella

[being the daughter of Philip IV and sister to Philip V and Charles IV]

See for the background of the introduction of the Salic laws, based originally

on the adultery of the French princesses in the Tour de Nesle Affair in 1317

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_V_of_France#Accession_and_the_Salic_Law

Tour de Nesle Affair

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_Nesle_Affair

Ironic however for King Philip V:

That King Philip V, who introduced the Salic Laws, of course thought his infant son would thus succeed him.

But his infant son died, he had only daughters left and they could not

inherit the throne………..

HUNDRED YEARS WAR ANYWAY

After denouncing the claim of Queen Isabella on the French throne

for her son Edward III, at first Edward III seemed to accept it,

But by various political causes,Edward III claimed the French throne again, it was of course

rejected by the French [who then had King Philip VI, the first Valois King, the son of

the brother of King Philip IV and thus a cousin of the late King Charles IV]

in 1337 the war broke out

See for the Hundred Years War

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years’_War

AND NOW BACK TO KING PHILIP IV

A ROYAL ADULTERY SCANDAL IN 1314

SEE WEBSITE EDWARD II BLOGSPOT

http://edwardthesecond.blogspot.nl/2015/07/a-royal-adultery-scandal-in-1314.html

A Royal Adultery Scandal In 1314

Edward II’s queen Isabella of France, then eighteen years old, visited her homeland in March/April 1314 to petition her father Philip IV on some matters concerning her husband’s duchy of Gascony. Isabella arrived in Paris on 16 March 1314, the day after her father had Jacques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and his deputy Geoffrey de Charnay burned alive on an island in the middle of the River Seine. The queen returned to England in late April 1314, just after Edward II’s thirtieth birthday.

[EdwardthesecondBlogspot]/Roger Mortimer’s grandchildren

ROGER MORTIMER’S GRANDCHILDREN

I did a genealogical post recently about Henry of Lancaster’s grandchildren which seemed to go down rather well, and here’s one about some of the grandchildren of Roger Mortimer, lord of Wigmore and first earl of March (25 April 1287 – 29 November 1330) and Joan Geneville (2 February 1286 – 19 October 1356). The couple married in 1301 and had four sons and eight daughters (see Ian Mortimer’s The Greatest Traitorfor more info): Edmund (the eldest son and Roger’s heir), Roger, Geoffrey, John, Margaret (the eldest daughter), Isabella, Joan, Maud, Agnes, Katherine, Beatrice and Blanche. Talking of the latter, here andhere are pics of Blanche’s stunning effigy in Much Marcle, Herefordshire. Please take a moment to have a look. Isn’t she beautiful? Look at the way her gown is made to spill over the edge of the tomb, her hands clutching a rosary, her tight-fitting gown and head-dress in the style of the mid-fourteenth century. Stunning. And here is the effigy of Blanche’s sister Katherine and her husband the earl of Warwick, in Warwick.

THE DEATH OF PIERS GAVESTON

Today is the 696th anniversary of the death of Piers Gaveston, run through with a sword and beheaded at Blacklow Hill, Warwickshire, on 19 June 1312.The story of Piers’ death – abducted from the earl of Pembroke’s custody by the earl of Warwick and killed in the presence of the earls of Lancaster, Hereford and Arundel – has been told so often I’m not going to bother repeating it here. Instead, I’ll look at some lesser-known aspects of the whole sordid business.

[EdwardthesecondBlogspot]/Edward II’s other great favourite, Hugh Despenser the Younger

EDWARD II’S OTHER GREAT FAVOURITE, HUGH DESPENSER THE

YOUNGER

This post is about a man I’ve always found absolutely fascinating: the man who was the de facto ruler of England for much of the 1320s, until his hideous execution at Hereford on 24 November 1326. In a recent poll, he was voted most villainous Briton of the 14th century, and got 9% of the vote for the worst Briton ever! Let’s face it, a man who extorted money and lands from rich widows (including his own sister-in-law), who became a pirate when he was exiled from England, and who was almost certainly the lover of his wife’s uncle, is waaay more interesting to write about than a man who helped little old ladies to cross the road (though maybe he did that too, who knows?)

THE CHARGES AGAINST HUGH DESPENSER THE YOUNGER,

Holmes’ ‘Judgement on the Younger Despenser, 1326’ (English Historical Review, 70, 1955). Investigating the accuracy of the charges would be a major undertaking, and although some of them are certainly true, some are utterly ludicrous. May McKisack (The Fourteenth Century 1307-1399) calls the charges “an ingenious tissue of fact and fiction,” while Roy Martin Haines (in his biography King Edward II) points out that “it is an ingenious document, another piece of propaganda that puts the blame for all the ills of the reign on one man and his father,” ignoring – for the time being, at least – Edward II’s own manifold failings and that the earl of Lancaster and his followers were in armed rebellion against their king in 1322, and in treasonous correspondence with Robert Bruce to boot. The original text begins Hughe le despenser en parlement nostre seignur le Roi Edward qui ore est tenu a Westmonstre Lan de son regne xvme…
