King Edward II of England (1307-1327) faced his greatest threat from his own household, particularly Queen Isabella of France and Roger Mortimer, who invaded England in 1326, forced Edward to abdicate in favor of his young son Edward III, and imprisoned him at Berkeley Castle where he reportedly died in 1327, illustrating how political betrayal and personal relationships can lead to the downfall of even powerful monarchs.

The Queen's Betrayal Rise of the Wolf QueenAdded:
greatest threat came from his own household, Queen Isabella, the She-wolf of Edward was never the warrior his father was in the throne room.
His indecision was a weakness that the hungry wolves of the nobility could smell.
He chose favorites who alienated the old guard, creating a rift that would eventually swallow his crown and his life.
But the greatest threat came from his own household, Queen Isabella, the She-wolf of France, had reached her breaking point. Beside her was Roger Mortimer, a powerful marcher lord with a cunning mind and a thirst for the power Edward [music] could no longer hold.
Together, they led an invasion fleet across the channel, not just to reclaim a kingdom, but to end a legacy. The end was swift.
Edward was forced to abdicate, handing the symbols of power to his young son while his enemies watched with icy satisfaction.
