remember that Isabella of France was brought from her home country and married to Edward II at the age of 12. Edward II was gay. She had to trail around England behind him and his lover until his lover was caught by disapprovers and hacked to death. Edward and Isabella had a falling out and he banned her from seeing their children. Some years later when she'd regained power she had him brutally murdered with a red hot poker shoved up his backside (imagine having that on your conscience when you're trying to sleep at night!) and just when she thought she had it made her son turned around, and, typical teenager, rebelled against her, seized her land and left her powerless. Oh, and he (the son) had Isabella's lover killed, just to put the cherry on top of her cake.
See now, that puts your stressful job, trying kids and maddening OH in another light doesn't it!
