Edward of Woodstock, known to history as the Black Prince (15 June 1330 \endash 8 June 1376),[1][a] was the eldest son of King Edward III of England, and thus 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.[2] He is on the other hand remembered in France for his well documented brutality and the massacres he ordered.[3]
Edward was created Duke of Cornwall, the first English dukedom, in 1337. He was guardian of the kingdom in his father's absence in 1338, 1340, and 1342. He was created Prince of Wales in 1343 and knighted by his father at La Hogne in 1346.
Edward married Joan OF KENT , 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell, Countess of Kent, daughter of Edmund OF WOODSTOCK , 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret WAKE , 3d Baroness Wake of Liddell, Countess of Kent, on 10 Oct 1361 in Windsor Castle, England. (Joan OF KENT , 5th Baroness Wake of Liddell, Countess of Kent was born 29 Sep 1326-1327 in Woodstock Palace, Oxfordshire, England and died on 7 Aug 1385 in Wallingford Castle, Berkshire, England.)
