Mother: Isabella DE FRANCE |
Reigned 1327-1377. Edward assumed effective power in 1330 after imprisoning his mother and executing her lover, roger de Mortimer who, had murdered his father; thereafter his reign was dominated by military adventures. His victory in Scotland, especially art Haildon Hill 1333, encouraged him to plan (1363) the union of England and Scotland. Through his mother, he claimed the French throne, thus starting (1337), the Hundred Years war. His son John of Guant dominated the government during his last years.
