(Duke) EDMUND (Duke of York)⁽¹⁾ was born on 5 Jun 1341 in King's Langley, Hertfordshire, England. Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, Knight of the Garter was born in 1341. Died in 1402.

York, House of, English royal line that in the latter half of the 15th century disputed the throne of England with the house of Lancaster. Both York and Lancaster were branches of the royal house of Plantagenet. Their dynastic rivalry developed into the Wars of the Roses, so named because the Yorkist emblem was the white rose and the Lancastrian emblem the red rose.

The title "duke of York" was created in 1385 for Edmund of Langley (1341-1402), fifth son of King Edward III. Edmund's grandson, Richard Plantagenet, 3d duke of York (1411-60), laid claim to the throne then occupied by King Henry VI, who was descended from John of Gaunt, the fourth son of Edward III and was head of the house of Lancaster. Richard Plantagenet claimed a prior right to it through his maternal grandfather, Roger VI de Mortimer, 4th earl of March and Ulster (1374-98), whose son had been recognized as heir presumptive by King Richard II. Richard Plantagenet's claim was considered just by Parliament, and it was agreed that the house of York should inherit the throne on Henry's death. Henry consented to this proposed arrangement.

Henry's wife, Margaret of Anjou, however, wanted her son, Edward, prince of Wales (1453-71), to succeed his father, and in 1455 she raised an army to defend his claim, thus beginning the Wars of the Roses. Richard Plantagenet was killed in the battle at Wakefield in 1460, but in 1461 his eldest son was proclaimed Edward IV, king of England, the first of the Yorkist line of English kings.

On the death of Edward IV in 1483, his eldest son, a boy aged 12, became king as Edward V. The young king was promptly imprisoned with his younger brother in the Tower of London by his paternal uncle, Richard Plantagenet, duke of Gloucester, who was crowned King Richard III on June 26, 1483. Edward V and his brother disappeared soon after Richard's coronation and tradition holds Richard responsible for having them killed. Modern scholarship, however, has cast doubt on the question of his guilt. In 1485 Richard III was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field, the last action of the Wars of the Roses. With his death, the York dynasty came to an end.

The victor at Bosworth Field was Henry Tudor, earl of Richmond, who was descended through his mother from the house of Lancaster. He ascended the throne as King Henry VII and was the first English king of the house of Tudor. He strengthened his right to the throne by marrying Elizabeth (1465-1503), the daughter of the Yorkist king Edward IV.

After 1485 descendants of Edward IV's sister, Elizabeth, and brother, George, duke of Clarence, and impostors like Perkin Warbeck, pressed claims to the throne. The last serious pretender of the house of York was Elizabeth's son, Richard de la Pole (flourished 1491-1525).

He died on 1 Aug 1402 in King's Langley, Hertfordshire, England. Parents: (King) EDWARD III and (Princess) PHILIPPA (Princess of Hainault).

(Duke) EDWARD AUGUSTUS (Duke of York)⁽¹⁾ was born on 14 Mar 1739 in Norfolk House, London. He died on 17 Sep 1767 in Monaco. Parents: (Prince) FREDERICK LOUIS (Prince of Wales) and AUGUSTA.

(King) EDWARD I (King of England)(Longshanks)⁽¹⁾ was born on 17 Jun 1239 in Palace of Westminster, Abbey, England.⁽⁴⁾ Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), king of England (1272-1307), of the house of Plantagenet. He was born in Westminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III, and at 15 married Eleanor of Castile. In the struggles of the barons against the crown for constitutional and ecclesiastical reforms, Edward took a vacillating course. When warfare broke out between the crown and the nobility, Edward fought on the side of the king, winning the decisive battle of Evesham in 1265. Five years later he left England to join the Seventh Crusade. Following his father's death in 1272, and while he was still abroad, Edward was recognized as king by the English barons; in 1273, on his return to England, he was crowned.
The first years of Edward's reign were a period of the consolidation of his power. He suppressed corruption in the administration of justice and passed legislation allowing feudal barons and the crown to collect revenues from properties willed to the church.
On the refusal of Llewelyn ab Gruffydd, ruler of Wales, to submit to the English crown, Edward began the military conflict that resulted, in 1284, in the annexation of Llewelyn's principality to the English crown. In 1290 Edward expelled all Jews from England. War between England and France broke out in 1293 as a result of the efforts of France to curb Edward's power in Gascony. Edward lost Gascony in 1293 and did not again come into possession of the duchy until 1303. About the same year in which he lost Gascony, the Welsh rose in rebellion.
Greater than either of these problems was the disaffection of the people of Scotland. In agreeing to arbitrate among the claimants to the Scottish throne, Edward, in 1291, had exacted as a prior condition the recognition by all concerned of his overlordship of Scotland. The Scots later repudiated him and made an alliance with France against England. To meet the critical situations in Wales and Scotland, Edward summoned a parliament, called the Model Parliament by historians because it was a representative body and in that respect was the forerunner of all future parliaments. Assured by Parliament of support at home, Edward took the field and suppressed the Welsh insurrection. In 1296, after invading and conquering Scotland, he declared himself king of that realm. In 1298 he again invaded Scotland to suppress the revolt led by Sir William Wallace. In winning the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, Edward achieved the greatest military triumph of his career, but he failed to crush Scottish opposition.
The conquest of Scotland became the ruling passion of his life. He was, however, compelled by the nobles, clergy, and commons to desist in his attempts to raise by arbitrary taxes the funds he needed for campaigns. In 1299 Edward made peace with France and married Margaret, sister of King Philip III of France. Thus freed of war, he again undertook the conquest of Scotland in 1303. Wallace was captured and executed in 1305. No sooner had Edward established his government in Scotland, however, than a new revolt broke out and culminated in the coronation of Robert Bruce as king of Scotland. In 1307 Edward set out for the third time to subdue the Scots, but he died en route near Carlisle on July 7, 1307.

He was christened on 22 Jun 1239 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England. He died on 7 Jul 1307 in Burgh-On-The-Sands, Cumberland, England. He was buried on 28 Oct 1307 in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England. He was baptised into the LDS church on 1 Nov 1930. He was endowed on 26 Jan 1931. He has reference number 8WKN-4B.

He was married to (Princess) MARGUERITE on 8 Sep 1299 in Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England.

(King) EDWARD II⁽¹⁾ was born on 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarvon Castle, Caernarvon, Caernarvonshire, Wales.⁽⁴⁾ Edward II (1284-1327), Plantagenet king of England (1307-1327), whose incompetence and distaste for government finally led to his deposition and murder.
Edward was born on April 25, 1284, at Caernarfon (Caernarvon), Wales, the fourth son of King Edward I and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile. The deaths of his older brothers made the infant prince heir to the throne; in 1301 he was proclaimed Prince of Wales, the first heir apparent in English history to bear that title. The prince was idle and frivolous, with no liking for military campaigning or affairs of state. Believing that the prince's close friend Piers Gaveston, a Gascon knight, was a bad influence on the prince, Edward I banished Gaveston. On his father's death, however, Edward II recalled his favorite. Gaveston incurred the opposition of the powerful English barony. The nobles were particularly angered in 1308, when Edward made Gaveston regent for the period of the king's absence in France, where he went to marry Isabella, daughter of King Philip IV. In 1311 the barons, led by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, forced the king to appoint from among them a committee of 21 nobles and prelates, called the lords ordainers. They proclaimed a series of ordinances that transferred the ruling power to themselves and excluded the commons and lower clergy from Parliament. After they had twice forced the king to banish Gaveston, and the king had each time recalled him, the barons finally had the king's favorite kidnapped and executed.
In the meantime, Robert Bruce had almost completed his reconquest of Scotland, which he had begun shortly after 1305. In 1314 Edward II and his barons raised an army of some 100,000 men with which to crush Bruce, but in the attempt to lift the siege of Stirling they were decisively defeated (see Bannockburn, Battle of). For the following eight years the earl of Lancaster virtually ruled the kingdom. In 1322, however, with the advice and help of two new royal favorites, the baron Hugh le Despenser, and his son, also Hugh le Despenser, Edward defeated Lancaster in battle and had him executed. The le Despensers thereupon became de facto rulers of England. They summoned a Parliament in which the commons were included and which repealed the ordinances of 1311 on the ground that they had been passed by the barons only. The repeal was a great step forward in English constitutional development, for it meant that thenceforth no law passed by Parliament was valid unless the House of Commons approved it.
Edward again futilely invaded Scotland in 1322, and in 1323 signed a 13-year truce with Bruce. In 1325 Queen Isabella accompanied the Prince of Wales to France, where, in accordance with feudal custom, he did homage to king Charles IV for the fief of Aquitaine. Isabella, who desired to depose the le Despensers, allied herself with some barons who had been exiled by Edward. In 1326, with their leader, Roger de Mortimer, Isabella raised an army and invaded England. Edward and his favorites fled, but his wife's army pursued and executed the le Despensers and imprisoned Edward. In January 1327, Parliament forced Edward to resign and proclaimed the Prince of Wales king as Edward III. On September 21 of that year Edward II was murdered by his captors at Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire.

He died on 21 Sep 1327 in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, England. He was buried on 20 Dec 1327 in Cathedral, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England. He was baptised into the LDS church on 8 Feb 1930. He was endowed on 14 Jan 1931. He has reference number 8WKN-JD.

Children were: (King) EDWARD III, (Earl) JOHN (Earl of Cornwall), ELEANOR, JOAN.

(King) EDWARD III⁽¹⁾ was born on 13 Nov 1312 in Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England.⁽⁴⁾ Edward III (1312-77), king of England (1327-77), who initiated the long, drawn-out struggle with France called the Hundred Years' War.
Edward was born at Windsor on November 13, 1312, the elder son of King Edward II, of the house of Plantagenet. Involved by his mother, Isabella of France, in her intrigues against his father, he was proclaimed king after the latter was forced to abdicate in 1327. During Edward's minority, England was nominally ruled by a council of regency, but the actual power was in the hands of Isabella and her paramour, Roger de Mortimer. In 1330, however, the young king staged a palace coup and took the power into his own hands. He had Mortimer hanged and confined his mother to her home.
Edward began a series of wars almost directly after he had control of England. Taking advantage of civil war in Scotland in 1333, he invaded the country, defeated the Scots at Halidon Hill, England, and restored Edward de Baliol to the throne of Scotland. Baliol, however, was soon deposed, and later attempts by Edward to establish him permanently as king of Scotland were unsuccessful. In 1337 France came to the aid of Scotland. This action was the culminating point in a series of disagreements between France and England, and Edward declared war on Philip VI of France. In 1340 the English fleet destroyed a larger French fleet off Sluis, the Netherlands. The action resulted in a truce that, although occasionally disturbed, lasted for six years.
War broke out again in 1346. Edward, accompanied by his eldest son, Edward the Black Prince, invaded Normandy and won a great victory over France in the Battle of Crécy. He captured Calais in 1347, and a truce was reestablished. Edward returned to England, where he maintained one of the most magnificent courts in Europe. The war with France was renewed in 1355, and again the English armies were successful. The Peace of Calais, in 1360, gave England all of Aquitaine, and Edward in return renounced his claim, first made in 1328, to the French throne.
Edward continued to assert his will both domestically and abroad. In 1363 he concluded an agreement with his brother-in-law, David II of Scotland, uniting the two kingdoms in the event of David's death without male issue. Three years later Edward repudiated the papacy's feudal supremacy over England, held in fief since 1213. He renewed his war with France, disavowing the Peace of Calais. This time, however, the English armies were unsuccessful. After the truce of 1375, Edward retained few of his previously vast possessions in France.
The king had, by this time, become senile. He was completely in the power of an avaricious mistress, Alice Perrers, who, along with his fourth son, John of Gaunt, dominated England. Perrers was banished by Parliament in 1376, and Edward himself died at Sheen (now Richmond) on June 21, 1377. He was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II.

He was christened on 17 Nov 1312 in Chapel of St. Ed, Windsor. He died on 21 Jun 1377 in Shene Palace, , Surrey, England. He was baptised into the LDS church on 17 Sep 1923. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England. He has reference number 8XHQ-DT. Accession to throne: 25 Jan 1327 (Keeper of the Realm from 26 Oct., 1326) Parents: (King) EDWARD II and (Queen) ISABELLA (France).

He was married to (Princess) PHILIPPA (Princess of Hainault) about 1328. Children were: (Prince) EDWARD (Prince of Wales)(The Black Prince), ISABELLA, JOAN, WILLIAM, (Duke) Lionel ANTWERP (Duke of Clarence K.G.), (Duke) JOHN(GAUNT) (Duke of Lancaster K.G.), (Duke) EDMUND (Duke of York), BLANCHE, MARY , MARGARET, WILLIAM , (Duke) THOMAS (Duke of Glouscester).

(King) EDWARD IV⁽¹⁾ was born on 28 Apr 1442 in Rouen, France. Edward IV (1442-83), king of England (1461-70; 1471-83), who established the house of York on the English throne.
Edward was born on April 28, 1442, in Rouen, France, the eldest son of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd duke of York. He inherited the title earl of March. During the Wars of the Roses, and following defeat in the Battle of Ludlow in 1459, Edward was driven from England by the Lancastrian king Henry VI. After his return to England and the death of his father in the Battle of Wakefield in 1460, Edward became head of the house of York. He defeated the Lancastrians in the Battle of Mortimer's Cross in 1461 and was acclaimed king by Parliament, which also declared Henry VI a usurper and traitor. Edward was crowned in June 1461. In giving thanks in person to the House of Commons, he set a historic precedent. Despite the civil war that continued intermittently until 1471, when all Lancastrian resistance was crushed and Henry VI was taken prisoner, Edward fostered the commerce of his realm. During his reign, printing and silk manufacturing were introduced in England.
Edward's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner, and his efforts to create a new nobility more amenable to his interests, angered the older nobles and alienated Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, who had been a power behind his throne. Warwick made an alliance with the Lancastrians and, in 1470, drove Edward from the throne and into exile in Holland. Henry VI again became king of England. Supplied with funds by his brother-in-law, Charles the Bold, duke of Bourgogne, Edward returned to England in 1471, raised a large army, and won decisive victories over his enemies at Barnet and Tewkesbury. Thereafter the crown was securely in his possession. The later years of his reign were, for the most part, uneventful. The most notable incident of this period was a short war with France in 1475, which was terminated by an arrangement whereby King Louis XI agreed to pay Edward an annual subsidy. Edward died on April 8, 1483, at Westminster and was succeeded by his son Edward V.

He died on 9 Apr 1483 in Palace of Westminster, Abbey, England. He was buried in St. George's Cha, Windsor Castle.
Accession to throne: 04 Mar 1461 Deposed 3 Oct 1470: restored 11 April 1471 Parents: (Duke) RICHARD (Duke of York) and (Duchess) Cicely NEVILLE (Duchess of York).

He was married to Elizabeth WOODVILLE on 1 May 1464 in Grafton Regis, Northantshire, England. Children were: (Queen) ELIZABETH, MARY, CICELY, (King) EDWARD V (Earl of March & Pembroke), MARGARET , (Duke) RICHARD (Duke of York), ANNE, (Duke) GEORGE (Duke of Bedford), CATHERINE, BRIDGET.

(King) EDWARD V (Earl of March & Pembroke)⁽¹⁾ was born on 4 Nov 1470 in Sanctuary at Westmeinster. Edward V King of England, Earl of March & Pembroke was born in 1470 in Westminster, England. Died in 1483. Reigned in 1483. Edward V (1470-83), short-lived, uncrowned king of England (1483), the second of the house of York. Born at Westminster, the eldest son of King Edward IV, he was created prince of Wales in 1471. As a result of the power struggle between his paternal uncle Richard, duke of Gloucester, and his maternal uncle Anthony Woodville, 2d Earl Rivers (1442?-83), both Edward and his brother, Richard, duke of York (1472-83), were confined in the Tower of London shortly after their father's death in April 1483. They were not seen again outside the tower. Because the duke of Gloucester had them declared bastards and usurped the throne as Richard III in June 1483, it is reasonable to suppose that he had them assassinated. No circumstantial evidence exists, however. It is possible, for instance, that they survived Richard and were later slain by his successor, Henry VII of the house of Tudor, to whose title they would have been a threat. The belief that Richard instigated their murder was advanced by Tudor historians. He died about 1483. King Accession to throne: 09 April 1483 Deposed 25 June 1483 Date & place
of death uncertain. Was never crowned. Parents: (King) EDWARD IV and Elizabeth WOODVILLE.

(King) EDWARD VI⁽¹⁾ was born on 12 Oct 1537 in Hampton Court Palace, England. Edward VI King of England & Ireland was born on 12 Oct 1537 in Hampton Court. Died on 5 Jul 1553 in Greenwich, England. Reigned in 1547/1553. Edward VI (1537-53), king of England and Ireland (1547-53), the last in the male line of the house of Tudor.

Edward was born at Hampton Court on October 12, 1537, the only son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, his third wife. He succeeded to the throne on the death of his father early in 1547. On his accession, his maternal uncle, Edward Seymour, 1st earl of Hertford, was named Lord Protector and duke of Somerset. In 1547 the Protector, in Edward's name, invaded Scotland, using as a pretext an alleged violation by the Scots of an agreement to give Mary, queen of Scots, in marriage to Edward. The English forces defeated the Scots at Pinkie in September of that year.

Both Edward and the Protector strongly favored the principle of the Reformation and did much to establish Protestantism in England. The body of edicts known as the Six Articles, enacted in the reign of Henry VIII, was repealed, and a new service book, the first Book of Common Prayer, was imposed in 1549. Although it was moderate in its approach, it was strongly opposed by Roman Catholics and stirred some uprisings. It subsequently, however, came into general use in the Anglican church.

In 1549 Somerset's attempt to help poor peasants by forbidding enclosure was thwarted by rich landowners, with the result that the peasants revolted. The opportunity was used by John Dudley, later duke of Northumberland, to remove Somerset from power. Edward was thereafter virtually controlled by Dudley, who in 1552 persuaded him to have Somerset executed for treason. The king became seriously ill of tuberculosis the year after. Shortly before Edward's death at Greenwich on July 6, 1553, Dudley induced him to sign a will depriving his half sisters, who later ruled as Mary I and Elizabeth I, of their claim to the royal succession. The right of succession then fell to Lady Jane Grey, who had married Dudley's son, but she was deposed by Mary a few days later.

He died on 6 Jul 1553 in Greenwich Palace, England. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, Westminster, Middlesex, England. King Accession to throne: 28 Jan 1547 Parents: (King) HENRY VIII and Jane SEYMOUR.

(King) EDWARD VII⁽¹⁾ was born on 9 Nov 1841 in Buckingham, Palace. He died on 6 May 1910 in Buckingham, Palace. He was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, England. Accession to throne: 22 Jan 1901 Parents: (King) ALBERT and (Queen) VICTORIA ALEXANDRINA.

(Prince) EDWARD (Prince of Wales)(The Black Prince)⁽¹⁾ was born on 15 Jun 1330 in Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England.⁽⁴⁾ Black Prince Original Knights, Order of the Garter.

Edward the Black Prince, 1330-76, eldest son of Edward III of England. He was created Duke of Cornwall in 1337, the first Duke ever to be created in England, and the Prince of Wales in 1343. Joining his father in battles of the Hundred Years War, he fought at Crecy and Calais and in 1356 won the battle of Poitiers and captured John II of France.
It was apparently the French who first called him the Black Prince, perhaps because he wore black armor. Edward III made his French holdings a principality, and the Black Prince maintained a brilliant court at Bordeaux after 1363. He aided Peter I of Castile
and Leon, but the taxes he was forced to levy in Aquitaine resulted in war with Charles V of France.

Bad health forced him to resign his principalities in 1372. He opposed his brother John of Gaunt, who had become the virtual ruler of England with the aging of Edward III. The
Black Prince died before his father, but his son succeeded to the throne as Richard II.

Edward Black Prince, Prince of Wales,Aquitaine, & Gascony in 1361. Edward Black Prince, Prince of Wales,Aquitaine, & Gascony was born on 15 Jun 1330 in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. Died on 8 Jun 1376 in Westminster, England. Buried in Canterbury Cathedral, England. Edward, called the Black Prince (1330-76), prince of Wales, who distinguished himself as a military leader during the Hundred Years' War.

Edward was born at Woodstock in Oxfordshire on June 15, 1330, the son of King Edward III of England. During his lifetime, he was called Edward of Woodstock; the name Black Prince was given him because of the black armor he wore. In 1346 Edward accompanied his father on the English campaign in Normandy, and during the Battle of Crecy, when he was only 16, the prince won high acclaim for his command of the right wing of the English army.

In 1355 Edward was appointed his father's lieutenant in Gascony. He led the English army in a series of raids across southern France and in 1356 defeated a French army at Poitiers, took King John II of France prisoner, and returned in triumph to England with his captive. In 1361 he married his cousin Joan, countess of Kent (1328-85) known as the fair maid of Kent. A year later his father created him prince of Aquitaine and Gascony, and he went to his domains in southern France. As lord of those lands, Edward became, under feudal law, a vassal of the French king.

During his rule the prince estranged the Gascon nobles, who believed that he was curtailing their feudal rights. After almost six years of peace, Edward, in 1367, led an expedition to Spain in order to restore Peter the Cruel, the deposed king of Castile, to his throne. During the successful Spanish campaign, Edward contracted an illness from which he never recovered; Peter furthermore refused to repay Edward the vast sums that had been expended on his behalf. On his return to Aquitaine, the prince levied taxes to pay for the expedition, but the disgruntled nobles protested to Edward's feudal lord, King Charles V of France. The prince refused to answer to the charges against him, and Charles renewed the war against England. A revolt against Edward spread through Aquitaine and Gascony, and despite his illness the prince led his troops against the city of Limoges, capturing it in 1370 and massacring its defenders. A year later he returned to England and resigned his principality.

During the last years of his life, Edward was a leader of the political faction that rebelled against the misrule of his younger brother, John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. Edward finally succumbed to his illness and died at Westminster on June 8, 1376. He was buried in Canterbury Cathedral, in which parts of his armor still hang. He was also duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester.
He died on 8 Jun 1376 in Palace, Westminster, Berkshire, England. He was buried on 29 Sep 1376 in Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England. He was baptised into the LDS church on 29 Oct 1932. He has reference number 8XHQ-G6.
