Marriage of King Edward II of England and Isabella of France, married in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, 25 January 1308
Illustration by Frederick Gilbert (1827-1902) from Cassell's illustrated history of England published circa 1896. Isabella later deposed Edward with her lover Roger Mortimer. Her son Edward III deposed Mortimer in turn, taking back his authority and executing Isabella’s lover. Info from wiki: The pair were married in Boulogne on 25 January.[95] Edward gave Isabella a psalter as a wedding gift, and her father gave her gifts worth over 21,000 livres and a fragment of the True Cross.[96] The pair returned to England in February, where Edward had ordered Westminster Palace to be lavishly restored in readiness for their coronation and wedding feast, complete with marble tables, forty ovens and a fountain that produced wine and pimento, a spiced medieval drink.[97] After some delays, the ceremony went ahead on 25 February, under the guidance of Robert Winchelsey, the Archbishop of Canterbury
