Edward, the Black Prince
Edward, the Black Prince
Edward of Woodstock, known to history as 'The Black Prince', was the eldest son of King Edward III of England, and the heir to the English throne. He died before his father and so his son, Richard II, succeeded to the throne instead. Edward nevertheless earned distinction as one of the most successful English commanders during the Hundred Years' War, being regarded by his English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age. On the other hand, he remains infamous in France for his well documented brutality and the massacres he ordered.
