* FateWorseThanDeath: Arguably Clémence of Hungary, the FriendToAllLivingThings who, after outliving both husband and son, survives a fever that wrecks her mind. She survives, but where she used to be a modest, shy queen she becomes a spendthrift moneywaster (to the point where the ''Pope'' has to tell her to pay her debts).

Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Charles, the youngest of Philip's son, is essentially a non-entity. His moment of note is him crying and almost breaking down when he discovers his wife's infidelity, babbling almost like a child. This would make him an interesting foil to Louis; both are somewhat immature, but while Louis's immaturity takes the form of petulant anger, Charles is more pitiable and sympathetic, almost innocent in juxtaposition to the scheming going on around him. He was also the LastOfHisKind, the last Capet king of France, which also has potential for drama.

* HarsherInHindsight: Queen Isabella of France's reputation would be stained because of her affair with Roger Mortimer, even as she nominally remains married to her estranged husband Edward II. In an eerily-similar note, her actress Julie Gayet would be publicly covered for her affair with President Francois Hollande (whose then-second wife was already his mistress while he was with his first wife). They would later marry.
