Edward III (November 13, 1312-June 21, 1377), King of England, reigned from 1327 to 1377.

Edward III was born in Windsor, Berkshire, the son of the murderers and homosexual Edward II. Her mother Isabella of France conspired with her lover Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, to depose Edward II and became the de facto ruler of England. The Earl of March received numerous fiefs (including the famous fief of Denby) and became domineering in England.

After his father was deposed on January 25, 1327, Edward III was crowned King of England by Walter Reynolds, Archbishop of Canterbury (one of Edward II's favorites). Real power was held by the Queen Regent and his lover, the Earl of March. However, Edward III soon gathered his strength to punish his father's killers. In 1330, Edward III took power and immediately ordered the execution of Roger Mortimer and the confiscation of his property.
