In England after 1307, Edward II inherits the throne and allows his favourite Piers Gaveston to dominate access to royal patronage. Robert Bywater, despite long service to the Crown, loses his estate to Gaveston and finds his family’s security dependent on the new king’s volatile household.
Edward’s marriage to the young Isabella of France offers the Bywaters another route into court when Louise enters the queen’s service. Favour, marriage and rebellion soon become inseparable, and the family must choose between obedience to a failing monarch and the coalition forming against him.
