• Notes

  Also known as "The Black Prince", he fought gallantly at his father's side at age 16. His will is as follows: "We, Edward, eldest son of the King of England and France, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, and Earl of Chester, the 7th June, in our apartment in the Palace of our Lord and Father the King at Westminster, being of good and sound memory, and We bequeath to the altar of Our Lady's chapel at Canterbury two basons with our arms, and a large gilt chalice enamelled with the arms of Warren. To our son Richard the bed which the King our father gave us. To Sir Roger de Clarendon a silk bed. To Sir Robert de Walsham, our Confessor, a large bed of red camora, with our arms embroidered at each corner; also embroidered with the arms of Hereford. To Mons. Alayne Cheyne our bed of camora powdered with blue eagles. And we bequeath all our goods and chattels, jewels, and for the payment of our funeral and debts; after which we will that our executors pay certain legacies to our poor servants. All annuities which we have given to our Knights, Esquires, and other [of] our followers, in reward for their services, we desire to be fully paid. And we charge our son Richard, on our blessing, that he fulfil our bequests to them. And we appoint our very dear and beloved brother of Spain, Duke of Lancaster; the Reverend Fathers in God William Bishop of Winchester; John Bishop of Bath; William Bishop of St. Asaph; our Confessor, Sir Robert de Walsham; Hugh de Segrave, Steward of our Lands; Aleyn Stokes; and John Fordham, our executors. In testimony of which we have put to this our last will our privy seal, Proved 4 idus June, 1376."
