Isabella II was right by not wanting to marry her gay cousin, he was ugly and he sucks.

Isabel II

[wonder-worker]

“[Isabella of France] may be viewed sympathetically as a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, or unsympathetically as a murderous and over-mighty woman. Likewise, [Edward II] can be portrayed positively as a martyr for his sexuality, or in a condemnatory way as an effeminate homosexual. In most screen portrayals, the respective images of Edward and Isabella are directly linked; a positive presentation of the one usually appears at the expense of the other. Despite their both being victims of prevailing gender and sexual norms, it seems that neither can be defined except in opposition to the other.”

Philip II of France and Isabella of Hainault (1184)

He married her in 1180 against the wishes of his mother, possibly bc of her Carolingian heritage. However, when he had a fallout with her uncle the Count of Flanders he attempted to put her aside citing the lack of heirs as reason.

This is a Joke Comic since as far as i can read the reason for the attempted split was primarily political. But given Philip’s extremely personal weird behavior with his later wives and even in modern Enlightened education age sexually active men having terrible sex ed, and his baffling explanations regarding what is and isn’t sex in the Ingeborg trials (even though it may have just been desperate legal rhetoric) i dont think this situation is completely impossible lol
