Edward the Second by Christopher Marlowe
"Edward the Second" by Christopher Marlowe is a Renaissance play written in the early 1590s. It dramatizes the turbulent reign of King Edward II, whose passionate devotion to his favorite, Piers Gaveston, ignites conflict with rebellious nobles. As the king's attachment alienates both his court and Queen Isabella, the struggle for power spirals toward betrayal and violence. The play explores the fatal consequences of favoritism, forbidden desire, and political ambition in a
kingdom tearing itself apart. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
