Years: 1326 - 1326
A French invasion, supported by the English magnates and engineered by Isabella, King Edward II’s queen, and her lover, Roger de Mortimer, first Earl of March, the thirty-nine-year-old grandson of Edouard (Edward) I’s supporter of the same name, ends the oppressive rule of Edward and Despenser in 1326.
Together, Isabella and Mortimer depose her husband, who is succeeded by his fourteen-year-old-son son as Edward III, and take control of the government.
