Answer:
The English barons and Isabella of France viewed the relationship between King Edward II and Hugh Despenser as problematic for a number of reasons. Hugh Despenser was first and foremost a ruthless and ambitious man who was charged with misusing his position of authority and enriching himself at the expense of the kingdom. Second, the English nobles felt threatened by the close friendship between Edward and Despenser, believing that Despenser would use his influence to undercut their position. Last but not least, Isabella of France, Edward's queen, is said to have been quite dissatisfied with the union and may have viewed Despenser as a competition for her husband's love. Ultimately, the quarrels between Edward, Despenser, and the English lords resulted in a time of political unrest and civil unrest known as the Despenser War.
