A Queen Toppled a King: Edward II’s Fall 1327

In 1327, King Edward II of England was deposed—one of the most dramatic power shifts of the Middle Ages. As opposition grew around court politics, royal favorites, and factional conflict, Queen Isabella of France and Roger Mortimer helped trigger a collapse of Edward’s rule. Parliament then played a key role in formalizing the change, crowning the young Edward III.

This Short explains what happened and why it set a lasting precedent: even a crowned king could be removed.
