What's so special about Edward II Of England?In this new, compelling book from author Earnestine Butler, find out more about Edward II Of England...Edward II, called Edward of Caernarfon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed by his wife Isabella in January 1327. He was the sixth Plantagenet king, in a line that began with the reign of Henry II. Between the strong reigns of his father Edward I and son Edward III, the reign of Edward II was considered by some to be disastrous for England, marked by alleged incompetence, political squabbling and military defeats.Widely rumoured to have been either homosexual or bisexual, Edward also fathered at least five children by two women. His inability to deny even the most grandiose favours to his male favourites led to constant political unrest and his eventual deposition.Edward I had pacified Gwynedd and some other parts of Wales and the Scottish lowlands, but never exerted a comprehensive conquest. However, the army of Edward II was devastatingly defeated at Bannockburn, freeing Scotland from English control and allowing Scottish forces to raid unchecked throughout the north of England.In addition to these disasters, Edward II is remembered for his probable death in Berkeley Castle, allegedly by murder, and for being the first monarch to establish colleges at Oxford and Cambridge: Oriel College at Oxford and King's Hall, a predecessor of Trinity College, at Cambridge.So, what seperates this book from the rest?A comprehensive narrative of Edward II Of England, this book gives a full understanding of the subject.A brief guide of subject areas covered in "1327 Deaths - Edward II Of England" include -- Edward II of England- Ordinances of 1311- Cultural depictions of Edward II of EnglandFind out more of this subject, it's intricacies and it's nuances.
