Notes about King Edward III of England

Edward III (13 Nov 1312 – 21 Jun 1377) was King of England from 1327 until his death; he is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous reign of his father, Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe; his reign also saw vital developments in legislation and government — in particular the evolution of the English parliament — as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He is one of only five British monarchs to have ruled England or its successor kingdoms for more than fifty years.

English Monarch.
The son of Edward II and Isabella of France, he was installed as king after his mother and her lover, Roger Mortimer, forced his weak father to abdicate. He was crowned on 25 Jan 1327 at the age of 14, with his mother and Mortimer in control as regents. Edward md. Philippa of Hainault on 24 Jan 1328 at York Minster. The marriage was a loving, successful one despite Edward's infidelities, and the couple had 13 children. In 1330 at the age of 18, Edward seized control and had Roger Mortimer executed. He spared his mother, but exiled her from court. Edward ruled successfully for 50 years, during which time he expanded English territory through wars with Scotland and France, and instituted government reforms which affirmed the power of the middle class in Parliament. The country prospered through the export of wool, but the prosperity was tempered by the devastation of the Black Death. Edward died of a stroke at Sheen Palace at the age of 65. His eldest son and heir Edward, the Black Prince, having died the previous year, the throne went to the Black Prince's son and Edward's grand-son, Richard. (bio by: Kristen Conrad)

In the later years of this King's reign we also find that Peter de Thornton, William de Praers, and Richard de Frodsham farmed the manor under the young Earl, its owner, who, on his father's death, on 25 Jan 1327, when he was but fifteen years of age, ascended the throne, and became King of England as Edward III.*
