Edward III of England

King of England from 1327 to 1377

Edward III of England made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

The record lists Edward III of England as King of England from 1327 to 1377.

Edward III of England was born in 1312. His recorded nationality is the Kingdom of England.

Learning then moved through courts, monasteries and madrasas, and reach depended on which libraries and translations lay within travelling distance.

The record gives his occupations as royalty and monarch.

The work that carried his reputation furthest concerned military success. Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight of the Garter (1348).

Working from the Kingdom of England shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Edward III of England died in 1377 at the age of 65. The work outlived the arguments around it.
