Edward II, King of England2
     Edward II, King of England was born on 25 April 1284 at Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon, Caernarvonshire, WalesG.3 He was the son of Edward I 'Longshanks', King of England and Eleanor de Castilla, Comtesse de Ponthieu. He married Isabelle de France, daughter of Philippe IV, Roi de France and Jeanne I, Reina de Navarre, on 25 January 1307/8 at Boulogne Cathedral, Bologne, Champagne, FranceG.4 He died on 21 September 1327 at age 43 at Berkeley Castle, Berkeley, Gloucestershire, EnglandG, claimed to have been murdered with a red-hot poker in the bowels, probably done on the orders of Roger Mortimer.5 He was buried at Gloucester Cathedral, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, EnglandG.5
     He was also known as Edward of Caernarvon.1 He succeeded as the Comte de Ponthieu et Montreuil on 28 November 1290.3 He was created Prince of Wales on 7 February 1301.3 He was created 1st Earl of Chester [England] on 7 February 1301.3 He was created Comte de Ponthieu et Montreuil.1 He was created Duc d'Aquitaine in May 1306.3 He gained the title of King Edward II of England on 7 July 1307.6 He was crowned King of England on 24 February 1308 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, EnglandG, and styled 'Rex Angliae, Dominus Hiberniae et Dux Aquitaniae.6' He was deposed as King of England on 20 January 1327.6 He abdicated as King of England on 25 January 1327.4
     He was the first English prince to bear the title 'Prince of Wales'. He married Isabella, daughter of King Philip IV of France. All the evidence indicates that Edward was bisexual. His first close advisor and unnatural friend was Piers Gaveson who was beheaded by the opposing barons at Deddington, Oxon in 1312. In 1314 Edward marched against the Scots and on 24 June of that year his large army was massacred by Robert Bruce at Bannockburn, gaining independance for Scotland. Thomas, the Earl of Lancaster, the leader of the barons opposing Edward, gained control for a time but Edward found new favourites in the Despensers, and Thomas was overcome in 1321 and subsequently put to death. In 1324 Edward's wife, Isabella, returned to France and then with a Welsh Marcher Lord, Roger Mortimer, they assembled followers and in 1327 set sail and landed in Suffolk. Edward was captured and deposed and the Despensers were hanged. Edward was imprisoned at Berkley Castle, Gloucestershire and attempts were first made to starve him to death. Then an order was issued by Isabella's followers that he should be killed without a mark being left on his body. At Berkley Castle, on Monday 21 September 1327, he was reputedly disembowelled with a red hot iron rod. He has an extensive biographical entry in the Dictionary of National Biography.7
