Edward III (13 November 1312 \endash 21 June 1377) was King of England and Lord of Ireland from January 1327 until his death. He is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father, Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His long reign of 50 years was the second-longest in medieval England (after that of his great-grandfather Henry III) and saw vital developments in legislation and government, in particular the evolution of the English Parliament, as well as the ravages of the Black Death.
Edward married Philippa OF HAINAUT, daughter of William Ist OF HAINAUT , Count of Hainaut, Avesnes, Holland, and Zeeland and Joan DE VALOIS. (Philippa OF HAINAUT was born in 1310-1315 in Valenciennes, Nord, France and died on 15 Aug 1369 in Windsor Castle, England.)
