[Jrroller.FTW]
Reigned 1327-1377. Edward assumed effective power in 1330 after
imprisoning his mother and executing her lover Roger de
Mortimer who had murdered his father; therafter his reign was
dominated by military adventures. His victory in Scotland,
especially at Haildon Hill 1333 encouraged him to plan (1363)
the union of England and Scotland. Through his mother he
claimed the French throne thus starting (1337) the Hundred
Years War. His son John of Gaunt dominated the government
during his last years.
