BIOGRAPHY Eric Delderfield:

 "Edward II was Edward I's greatest failure.  Feeble and perverted, he did nothing to carry on his father's work of consolidation.  Yet by default, his laziness and incompetence strengthened the influence of Parliament, and the bureaucracy was improved by various reforms. Addicted to worthless favorites, first Piers Gaveston, and later the Despensers (father and son), the king aroused the wrath of the nobles by leaving Gaveston as guardian of the kingdom when he left for France in 1308 to marry Isabella, daughter of Philip IV [this is an error; Isabella was the daughter of Charles of Valois, the brother of Philip IV]. Besides Gaveston's status as a 'foreigner' (from Gascony) and the nature of his [homosexual] relationship with Edward, the barons were incensed by his habit of giving them nicknames.  The barons forced Edward to banish Gaveston to Ireland in 1309, and his returnled to the imposition of further limitations on royal power through the Odinances of 1311, which agains banished the king's favorite.  Edward's attempts to circumvent the Ordinances and his recall of Gaveston led to armed revolt in which Gaveston was captured and beheaded.
 The next fiasco was Edward's efforts to impose his rule on Scotland: despite invading with a large army, Edward was soundly defeated by Robert Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.  This and Bruce's capture of Berwick four years later settled the question of Scottish independence until the Union of England and Scotland in 1707.  Edward's standing was so low that he was forced to relinquish authority to his cousin Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, who had led opposition to the king - the first indication of the struggle that was to develop between the Angevins and the younger Lancastrian branch of the family.  Earl Thomas' ineptitude allowed Edward, with the help of his new favorite Hugh le Despenser, to reassert his will by force, execute Thomas, and annul the Ordinances.

Queen Isabella [# 3146] now headed the opposition to the husband she despised, taking Prince Edward [# 2979] with her to France, where she fell in love with a disaffected noble, Roger de Mortimer, Baron of Wigmore. Together they invaded England, landing in Suffolk. The Despensers were executed, and Edward, after being captured in South Wales, was forced to abdicate. A rescue attempt on Berkeley Castle, where he was imprisoned, prompted his murder in September of 1327."
