Edward II
* * *
FATHER: Edward I ( see here).
MOTHER: Eleanor of Castile (under Edward I, see here).
SIBLINGS: (under Edward I, see here).
EDWARD II
He was born on 25 April, 1284, at Caernarvon Castle, Wales. He succeeded his mother as Count of Ponthieu and Montreuil on 28 November, 1290. He was created and invested as Earl of Chester and Prince of Wales on 7 February, 1301; he was the first English Prince of Wales, and since 1301 the title has usually been granted to the eldest son of the sovereign. The story of Edward being presented by his father to the Welsh on a shield, just after his birth in 1284, is a picturesque fabrication. He was created Duke of Aquitaine in May, 1306. He succeeded his father as King of England on 8 July, 1307, and was crowned on 24/25 February, 1308, in Westminster Abbey.
Edward II was deposed by an illegally convened ‘Parliament’ on 20 January, 1327, and formally abdicated in favour of his son Edward on 25 January, 1327.
Edward II married, on 25 or 28 January, 1308, at Boulogne Cathedral, France:
Isabella
She was the daughter of Philip IV, King of France, by Joan I, Queen of Navarre, daughter of Blanche of Artois (under Henry III, see here). Isabella was born around 1292/5 in Paris. She was crowned Queen Consort on 24/25 February, 1308, in Westminster Abbey. She was instrumental in plotting the deposition and murder of her husband, and after his abdication she shared the Regency with her lover, Roger Mortimer, Earl of March. When Edward III attained his majority in 1330, the regents were overthrown. Mortimer was executed, and Isabella allowed an honourable retirement from public life. She died on 22 August, 1358, either at Castle Rising, Norfolk, or at Hertford Castle, and was buried in Greyfriars Church, Newgate, London. Her tomb was lost during the Reformation.
Issue of marriage:
1 Edward III ( see here).
2 John
He was born on c.15 or 25 August, 1316, at Eltham Palace, Kent, and was created Earl of Cornwall between 16 and 31 October, 1328. He died on 13

1 Reginald III, Count of Gueldres (1334–1371); he married Mary (d.1398), daughter of John III, Duke of Brabant.
2 Edward, Count of Gueldres (1336–1371); he married Katherine (d.1401), daughter of Albert, Duke of Holland and Hainault.
Eleanor may also have been the mother of the following, although it is more probable that they were the children of Reginald’s first wife, Sophia of Malines (d.1329):
3 Margaret (d.1344).
4 Matilda (d.1380); she married firstly Godfrey, Count of Hennenburg, and secondly John, Duke of Cleves; she married thirdly John, Count of Châtillon, Blois.
