Edward III 1327-1377
The King who led England into the Hundred Years' War with France. The eldest son of Edward II, Edward became king aged 15 after his father was deposed by his mother and her lover, Roger Mortimer. They retained power until 1328, when Edward executed Mortimer and sidelined his mother. Once in charge, he worked to return England to former glories; he held a brilliant court, rebuilt Windsor Castle and established the Order of the Garter. Yet his primary focus was war with France. Ongoing disputes over Gascony were intensified in 1340 when he assumed the title of King of France, starting war that would last, on and off, for over a century. In July 1346 Edward landed in Normandy, accompanied by his son Edward, the Black Prince. His decisive victory at Crécy in August scattered the French army. He then captured Calais, turning it into a base for future campaigns before agreeing a truce in 1347. War restarted in 1355. The following year, the Black Prince won a handsome victory at Poitiers, capturing the French king, John II. The ensuing negotiations resulted in a truce in which Edward renounced his claim to the French crown in return for the whole of Aquitaine. Yet this was repudiated by the new French king, Charles V. Edward, growing old, re-established his claim to the French crown but left most of the hard work to his sons Edward and John of Gaunt. They enjoyed little success and, by 1375, had lost Aquitaine. Edward's constant need for money pushed him to attack the wealth and privileges of the church and by now he was past his prime. After the death of Queen Philippa in 1369 he fell under the influence of Alice Perrers, his mistress, while Prince Edward and John of Gaunt led two divided parties in court. At the 'Good' Parliament of 1376, Perrers was removed and some of Gaunt's followers were impeached. However, Prince Edward's death interrupted proceedings and John of Gaunt regained power, reversing the acts of the Good Parliament before Edward's death in 1377.
