Loveless Marriage.....

@lovinangelsinstead21 I love it! You write so well that it makes it believable.

She was known as Isabella of France that is how her name is spelled at any rate. Sophie Marceaux played her very well considering those times in which she lived where a woman was less than third rate in many cases. I am when I write this not professing to know her entire history and I found it moving her plight. Now you know who it is you know who he was in love with if you ever saw the Film. She actually was in love Roger of Mortimer but it was a forbidden love and she had been promised since the age of three years old to someone who had not the slightest intention of loving her at all so it seems although they did have children. Sorry if I have got the history wrong but its from the heart I write it and not looking very much into how correct it all was. PS:Corrected all the spelling mistakes.

@lovinangelsinstead21 There were several Isabelle de France (any daughter of a king called "Isabelle" was an "Isabelle de France"), but I found this one easily as only 1 Isabelle de France married a king of England. I have not seen the movie, I will have a look to see if it is available on the VOD of my ISP (they are offering to watch 3 movies for 2 Euros this month). Your poem is very well written with your heart. It is not important for a poem to follow strictly the facts, it is not a thesis.

@lovinangelsinstead21 yes i can understand. Sad indeed

He loved someone else and she had to put up with being the third rated Queen. But however she grew stronger and eventually managed to liberate herself from him somewhat.

Yes and she was in love with someone else after he paid no attention to her. He loved someone else I cannot say who here. Very sad story.

She could not get free from him in those times. In those times you were married whether he loved you or not and not very easy to escape from him or them.

@lovinangelsinstead21 If they do not love each other anymore, then what is the sense of being together. I feel like they are in a cage where they are both unhappy.

@annierose She was more unhappy than him as he was allowed to love another while she was not. Then it was a crime for a woman to love another in such a way.

Thank you jaiho. He was in love with someone else and he flaunted his lover in front of her as well.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I can relate well, it happened to me

@jaiho2009 Oh no did it? Very sorry that happened to you and there is nothing worse than someone that does that to you. All the hurt. Only time heals all that.

It could be Tiara but its much further back than that although same cold hearted person type. Take care have a great week ahead.

@lovinangelsinstead21 You too Loving. Thanks

Isabella of France Jabo she married that whats his name King the Son of Edward the First I think he was and made her a very unhappy Queen. Shudder to think of living in those times can you imagine.

Oh, that is great being married over 18 years. Now they hardly stay together three days it seems. So glad you are better now.

Thank you Bonnie. I felt so much for her that I had to write something about it. I know a bit about that kind of story as well but with other people I know.

It could be related to the Queen Elizabeth The First but not really. I am sure she did love others though. Its about Queen Isabella of France who married King Edward The First´s Son centuries ago and the story still lives on in many people´s lives today.

He was never true and he gave jewelry of hers to the other one also. What a cheek he had. But men ruled the roost in those days.

No, not a chance. Its about a Queen from yonder times ago. How I felt when I read about her and her sad story and life.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Glad it wasn't you! I'm sure many have had such heartbreak.

Thank you Val. Its a story that I really like.

@lovinangelsinstead21

@Shiva49 I hope that most worked out. My Grandmother´s marriage was an arranged one that is another story but that was not so long ago either. Victorian Society was that way then. In a way this writing reflects that a bit.

Its a very moving story and it is so true on many levels of life itself. Women are still being treated the same in some ways. But she became strong and managed to get a life of her own. I guess four children with him gave her some power in a way. She loved another and I believe her Husband the King had him done away with but he did not do away with his.

@lovinangelsinstead21 In a similar vein, there are many women in India who adjusted to arranged marriages especially after children were born. Though the marriages were loveless to start with they attained a certain level of mutual affection, even acceptance, later. That way, we joke that love marriage is love before marriage and arranged one is after the marriage especially with increased instances of divorce cases - siva

In those days it was not that easy to get away from someone like him. He was the King and he let her know it. She became smarter as time went on and managed to get some life of her own.

@lovinangelsinstead21 thats good.

Thank you. Its just how the inspiration takes me. Say if I were to write about Merlin it would not be accurate history wise but in words it would be so true for me and that is what counts.

Yes that is right. I really felt for her and her life and the way she had to live. Trapped in a country that was not her own but she grew strong and I was glad for that. She opened her eyes and saw them how they really were but she was able to defend herself very intelligent woman.

Thanks, I had a blast writing it too. Have a great weekend ahead.

Yes I wrote it based on what happened to a Queen of England but in the Middle Ages well just after.
