Notes about King Edward II van Engeland Plantagenêt First English Prince of Wales, 1301, King of Engla

King 1307-1327

First English Prince of Wales, 1301, King of England. ; Murdered.
Forced to abdicate as king. Was irresponsible and incompetent.

DEATH: Murdered by a red-hot poker in his bowels. (This was a common treatment for homosexuals at the time.)

BIOGRAPHY: King Edward was styled as, "Rex Angliae, Dominus Hiberniae, et Dux Aquitaniae."Edward was crowned by Henry Merewell (or Woodlock), Bishop of Winchester.

One of Edward's hobbies was masonry and bricklaying.

According to many historians, Edward was probably homosexual. His preference for Piers Gaveston was one of the major scandals of his reign, and caused many problems with the nobility.

He was the first English prince to bear the title 'Prince of Wales'. He married Isabella, daughter of King Philip IV of France. All the evidence indicates that Edward was a homosexual. His first close advisor and unnatural friend was Piers Gaveson who was beheaded by the opposing barons at Deddington, Oxon in 1312. In 1314 Edward marched against the Scots and on 24 June of that year his large army was massacred by Robert Bruce at Bannockburn, gaining independance for Scotland. Thomas, the Earl of Lancaster, the leader of the barons opposing Edward, gained control for a time but Edward found new favourites in the Despensers, and Thomas was overcome in 1321 and subsequently put to death. In 1324 Edward's wife, Isabella, returned to France and then with a Welsh Marcher Lord, Roger Mortimer, they assembled followers and in 1327 set sail and landed in Suffolk. Edward was captured and deposed and the Despensers were hanged. Edward was imprisoned at Berkley Castle, Gloucestershire and attempts were first made to starve him to death. Then an order was issued by Isabella's followers that he should be killed without a mark being left on his body. At Berkley Castle, on Monday 21 September 1327, he was reputedly disembowelled with a red hot iron rod. He has an extensive biography in the Dictionary of National Biography.6
