Editing Isabella of France (section)

=== Film ===
In [[Derek Jarman]]'s film [[Edward II (film)|''Edward II'']] (1991), based on Marlowe's play, Isabella is portrayed (by actress [[Tilda Swinton]]) as a "femme fatale" whose thwarted love for Edward causes her to turn against him and steal his throne. In contrast to the negative depictions, [[Mel Gibson]]'s film ''[[Braveheart]]'' (1995) portrays Isabella (played by the French actress [[Sophie Marceau]]) more sympathetically. In the film, an adult Isabella is fictionally depicted as having a romantic affair with the Scottish hero [[William Wallace]]. This version of the character takes significant artistic license from her real life counterpart.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2010/aug/06/lying-historical-fiction |title=The lying art of historical fiction |publisher=Guardian News |date=6 August 2010 |access-date=24 September 2012}}</ref> Additionally, Wallace is incorrectly suggested to be the father of her son, Edward III, despite Wallace's death being many years before Edward's birth.<ref>Ewan, pp. 1219–21.</ref>
