About the Book

Edward II has just become king after the death of his father, and he immediately summons his exiled favorite, Piers Gaveston, to the court. This does not make the nobles of the court happy, as they see Gaveston as basely born and their own influence suffering in light of his. In particular, Mortimer (Junior) and the Earl of Lancaster mount an offense, taking their complaints to the king. Edward cares not, and happily welcomes Gaveston home. The nobles threaten Edward that he cannot have his minion here, and Edward is astonished at their audacity. Nevertheless, he keeps Gaveston by his side and even strips the Bishop of Coventry, who'd been responsible for Gaveston's exile, of his property and tokens of office. Opposition mounts as the nobles gather together with the Archbishop and discuss Edward's behavior. The Queen also mourns her husband's preference for Gaveston, and implores them to do something but not to hurt the king. The nobles draw up a document exiling Gaveston again and force Edward to sign it. He does so reluctantly, knowing he has few options, but whispers to Gaveston that he will figure out how to bring him back. The Queen is glad Gaveston is gone, but realizes that Edward is now treating her horribly because he is so angry. She decides it would be marginally better if Gaveston were back, and takes her plea to Mortimer. Mortimer, who is romantically interested in the Queen, listens to her and decides she is right-they should bring Gaveston back and simply endure his obnoxiousness if it will calm Edward down. Besides, if Gaveston does not behave, Mortimer tells the others, they can take care of him. The Queen informs Edward that Gaveston is being recalled. He nearly weeps with joy and embraces her. He then appoints the nobles to high positions and they are confident that things will be better now. Mortimer is the only one who privately grumbles to his father that he is not appeased. In Act Two, plans are put into place for Gaveston's return. Edward already starts to show himself distracted, telling his advisors that he does not need to focus on the King of France's landing in Normandy at the moment. Gaveston arrives and the two men embrace, but without warning, Lancaster and Mortimer draw their swords and proclaim Gaveston a traitor. Mortimer wounds him. Edward screams that they will pay. Mortimer contents himself that he has done the right thing and he expects the king to do the right thing as well. He asks Edward to help ransom his father who has been taken prisoner by the Scots, arguing that since Edward sent him there it is his responsibility. Edward refuses, and Mortimer hotly denounces him and his false reign.
