Gaveston was so magnificently dressed
one observer noted, that "he more resembled the god Mars than an ordinary mortal."
Isabella was only 12, but she knew how a King's wife should be treated
And it was clear that her rightful place at Edward's side had already been taken, by Gaveston
Isabella wasn't the only one who noticed the relationship between Edward and Piers
Her French uncles went home in a rage
insulted that Edward would have given some of their wedding presents to Gaveston
A chronicler of the time wrote
"I do not remember to have heard that one man so loved another."
Not only was Isabella finding that there were three people in her marriage
but Gaveston's preening and waspish presence
was having an equally corrosive effect on the King's relationship with his nobles
