 47 - Plantaganet

1. Edward III (1312-1377). King of England. Only 14 years old at the time of Edward II's removal. He was at first dominated by his mother and her lover Roger Mortimer. In 1330 he had Mortimer executed and his mother exiled from court. Edward and Edward Balliol defeated the Scots in 1333 at Halidon Hill and drove David II into exile. The French had a treaty with Scotland, and together this with problems in Gascony, caused the HYW and Edward's claim to the French throne. He scored many victories against the French, the most notable being at Crecy in 1346. In 1360 he recognised the magnitude of the task he had set himself and relinquished his claim on France for undisputed title to Aquitaine. However hostilities soon resumed and England gradually lost ground.
