It was also a period of high drama in English\u00a0history, which included the toppling of two kings, the Hundred Years War, the Black Death, and the Peasants\u2019 Revolt. Feudalism was breaking down, resulting in social and political turmoil.<\/p>\n Against this dramatic milieu, Alison Weir describes the lives and reigns of five queen Marguerite of France was seventeen when she became the second wife of sixty-year-old King Edward I. Isabella of France, later\u00a0known as \u201cthe She-Wolf,\u201d dethroned her husband, Edward II, and ruled England with her lover. In contrast, Philippa of Hainault was a popular queen to the deposed king\u2019s son Edward III. Anne of Bohemia was queen to Richard II, but she died young and childless.\u00a0Isabella of Valois became Richard\u2019s second wife when she was only six years old, but was caught up in events when he was violently overthrown.<\/p>\n This\u00a0was a turbulent and brutal age, despite its chivalric color and ethos, and it stands as a vivid backdrop to the extraordinary\u00a0stories of these queens\u2019 lives..
