My Story:
Born in 1275, she’s 33 when Isabella is married.
Hugh Despenser the Elder rapes her in Episode 2. He starts harassing her in E1. She is pregnant, goes to Bishop for help with abortion because she knows he will threaten her if she tells. The Bishop sends her to his brothel across the Thames for an abortion.
Now Isabella and Theophania both have a life-long hatred of Hugh Despenser the Elder.
During this same time, Theo becomes interested in fellow French servant of Isabella’s, “Bernard”. These two will end up together, and he stays with her throughout abortion ordeal and being exiled by Edward II.
