Edmund Crouchback Plantagenet Earl Leicester 
Edmund Crouchback was born in London, England. Edmund Crouchback's father was Henry III Plantagenet King of England and his mother was Eleanor Berenger de Provence. His paternal grandparents were John Lackland Plantagenet King of England and Isabella Taillefer de AngoulIme; his maternal grandparents were Raimund VI Berenger Ct de Provence and Beatrice de Savoie. He had five brothers and three sisters, named Edward I Longshanks, Richard, John, William, Henry, Margaret, Beatrice and Katherine. He died on June 5th, 1296 in Bayonne, France.General Notes
In 1253 he was invested by the Pope in the Kingdom of Sicily and Apulia, at
about this time he was also made Earl of Chester. These were of little value
as the real King of Sicily was still living and the Earldom of Chester was
transfered to his elder brother Edward. He soon obtained, however, both
possessions and dignities, for upon the forfeiture of Simon de Montfort by the
King of the Earldom of Leicester and also the honour of the Stewardship of
England and the lands of Nicolas de Segrave.
REF: Sharon Kay Penman, "The Reckoning": Split with his brother Edward over the latter's decision, after he took Nazareth (1271-1272), to allow his men to kill the Arab townsfolk, in reprisal for the Arabs' massacre of Christians at Jaffa & Antioch.
