Capture of Oxford
The Capture of Oxford took place during Isabella's Campaign during the 1326 Invasion of England. She and her lover, Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, took the town en route to London.
March to Oxford[edit]
Isabella of France and Mortimer moved out again on their March on London. They successfully avoided Edward II of England's army, and they moved south. There, they moved to capture Oxford. They marched south, nearing London every step they took. Edward II prepared to run, and Isabella and Mortimer's forces took Oxford.
Edward II lost the war and was later deposed in parliament, imprisoned, and later died—probably murdered—in Berkeley Castle.[1]
