Edward II
Edward II (1284-1327), king of England (1307-1327). Edward was born in Caernarvon, Wales. In 1301 he was proclaimed Prince of Wales, the first heir apparent in English history to bear that title. When Edward became king in 1307, the English nobles quarreled with his friend Piers Gaveston. In 1311 the barons, led by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, forced the king to create a committee of nobles, called the lords ordainers. They transferred the ruling power to themselves, excluded the commons and lower clergy from Parliament, and had Gaveston kidnapped and executed.
In the meantime, Edward was at war with Scottish king Robert Bruce. After Edward's 1314 defeat, the Earl of Lancaster virtually ruled the kingdom for eight years. In 1322, with the help of the baron Hugh le Despenser, and his son, also Hugh le Despenser, Edward defeated Lancaster in battle. The le Despensers became de facto rulers of England. Edward's wife, Queen Isabella, wanted to depose the le Despensers, and she traveled to France and allied herself with some exiled English barons. In 1326 they raised an army and invaded England. Edward was imprisoned, forced to resign, and then murdered by his captors.
