March to Cambridge[]

Edward II of England was cooped up in London, watching Isabella of France, his ex-wife, move into English soil. The French and Rebel English moved out to March on London. Isabella's forces had not lost a man yet, taking countless villages and towns. Edward II moved not, daring not to reveal his incompetence. The Anglo-French Army moved out. On September 26, they reached Cambridge. They took the town from the English defenders after a short battle. Coordinates: 52°12′19″N 0°07′53″E / 52.2053°N 0.1313°E / 52.2053; 0.1313
