Edward III and the early years of the English king
Edward III born at Windsor in 1312 and reigning from 1327. His early rule saw Mortimer and Isabella acknowledge Scotland’s independence and Edward II’s death. He seized power in 1330, executed Mortimer, and imprisoned Isabella. He claimed the French throne after Charles IV’s death, leading to the Hundred Years War. At Crécy 1346 and Poitiers 1356 the Black Prince won major victories, and the Order of the Garter was founded. French resistance led to the treaty of Brétigny 1360 yielding minor gains, while the Black Prince died in 1376 and Richard II, his son, succeeded Edward III.
