Using her own supporters at court, and the patronage of her French family, Isabella attempted to find a political path through these challenges ; she successfully formed an alliance with Gaveston, but after his death at the hands of the barons her position grew increasingly precarious.

In 1313, Isabella travelled to Paris with Edward to garner further French support, which resulted in the Tour de Nesle Affair.

Isabella and Edward then returned to England with new assurances of French support against the English barons.

Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, a moderate baron with strong French links, asked Isabella to intervene in an attempt to prevent war ; Isabella publicly went down on her knees to appeal to Edward to exile the Despensers, providing him with a face-saving excuse to do so, but Edward intended to arrange their return at the first opportunity.
