Notes for EDWARD (OF CAERNARVON) PLANTAGENET:
He was King Edward II of England. He was invested as the first English Prince of Wales in 1301. He acceded the throne on February 24, 1308 in Westminster Abbey. It has been noted that his reign was frim 1307- 1327. His reign was troubled by extravances, his militarist disasters in Scotland notably at Bannockburn (1304) and unpopularity of his favorite peers Gaveston who died in 1312 and Hugh Despenser 1262-1326. Edward II was as much of a failure as a king as huis father was a success. He lavished money and other rewards upon his male favorites, raising the ire of the nobility. The most notable was Piers Gaveston, his homosexual lover. On the day of Edward's marriage to Isabella, Edward preferred the couch of Gaveston, to that of his new wife. Gaveston was exiled and eventually murdered for his licentious conduct with the king. Edward's means of maintaining power was based on the noose and the block - 28 knights and barons were executed for rebelling against the decadent king. Edward faired no better as a soldier. The rebellions of the barons opened the way for Robert Bruce to reconquer much of Scotland. Bruce's victory over English forces at the battle of Bannockburn, noted above, in 1314, ensured Scottish independance until the union of England and Scotland in 1707.
War broke out with France in 1324, prompting Edward to send Isabella and their son Edward, (later to become Edward III) to negotiate with her brother and French King, Charles IV. Isabella fell into an open romance with Roger Mortimer, one of Edward's dissaffected barons. The rebelious couple invaded England in 1326, capuring and imprisoning Edward. The King was deposed and replaced by his son, Edward III. Edward II was deposed on January 21, 1327 and murdered on September 21,1327 at Berkeley Castle by a red-hot iron or poker inserted through his sphincter into his bowels. His burial was December 20, 1327 in Gloucestershire, England. The juxtapposision of Edward I and Edward II was beautifully described by Sir Richard Baker, in reference to Edward I in A Chonical of the Kings of England: "His great unfortunateness in his greatest blessing; for of four sons which he had by his Queen Elinor, three of them died in his own lifetime, who were worth to have outlived him; and the fourth outlived him, who was worthy never to have been born, "A strong indictment of a weak king.


Notes for ISABELLA DE VALOIS:
She was Princess of France and Queen of England. She was buried at the Church of the Grey Friars in London, England on November 27, 1358. She was the sister of King Charles IV of France.
