K Epps on 29 Oct 14"Edward II was born on 25 April 1284 as the youngest child of Edward I and his first wife Eleanor of Castile, and succeeded his father as king of England at the age of twenty-three on 7 July 1307. On 25 January 1308 at Boulogne in northern France, Edward married Isabella, only surviving daughter of the reigning king of France, Philip IV, and the late Joan I, queen of Navarre in her own right. Isabella was only twelve at the time of her wedding, born probably in the second half of 1295. The couple's betrothal had been arranged all the way back in June 1299, when Edward was fifteen and Isabella probably only three."
