King Edward II Surrenders

A composition I made for a sample of the series "World Without End" provided to me. I do not own this series, I only own the music and the video you see posted here.

[@MisterMac4321]

The scene takes rather considerable liberties with the historical facts. Edward II was captured by a small scouting party on 16 November 1326 after fleeing Caerphilly Castle; there was no major battle (as the setting here would suggest) leading up to the event. The actual abdication itself didn't occur until almost two months later (21 January 1327), and that was inside Kenilworth Castle (not in an open field) in front of an assembly of nobles. Neither Isabella or Edward III was present at either the capture or the abdication ceremony.

[@stevenleslie8557]

True. I believe the image of Edward abdicating before Isabella and Mortimer on the battlefield was taken from a painting produced years later.

[@immad9706]

So why was he was fleeing caerphilly castle?

[@MisterMac4321]

@@immad9706 When Isabella and the young Edward III landed in Britain in late September 1326, most of the English nobility defected to their cause (largely because Edward II's principle advisors were so despised). Hoping to buy time in which to raise troops, Edward II retreated - first to Gloucester and then to Wales (and then attempted to sail for Ireland, but bad weather prevented it). He then took refuge at Caerphilly and attempted to rally his remaining supporters, but on 02 November, when the army of Isabella and Edward III approached, he fled - abandoning his warchest and most of his supplies. He was betrayed to a scouting party about a fortnight later.

Wrong. There was no established procedure for removing an English king. On 20 January 1327, the Earl of Lancaster and the bishops of Winchester and Lincoln met privately with Edward in the Berkeley castle where he was held as prisoner. They informed Edward that if he were to resign as monarch, his son Prince Edward would succeed him, but if he failed to do so, his son might be disinherited as well, and the crown given to an alternative candidate. In tears, Edward agreed to abdicate, and on 21 January, Sir William Trussell, representing the kingdom as a whole, withdrew his homage and formally ended Edward's reign. A proclamation was sent to London, announcing that Edward, now known as Edward of Caernarvon, had freely resigned his kingdom and that Prince Edward would succeed him. The coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on 1 February 1327.

They started stealing land and murdering hundreds of people, but probably worst of all, took Isabella's children from her as hostages while Edward did nothing to stop them.

[@nutyyyy]

In reality yes Edward was certainly his son and resembled Edward II very closely. Edward II gets a very poor showing in modern times. He was handsome, tall and strong but has strange interests for the time. He enjoyed diving in rivers and lakes, sailing and enjoyed the company of many commoners, especially those with professions that interested him. He inherited an increasingly untenable war in Scotland that ultimately lasted over 30 years and defined his reign. He also had an unhealthy relationship with male favourites. Many modern commentators therefore conclude he was gay despite having many mistresses and fathering several children with them. In many ways he was viewed as a model Prince in his youth due to his stature and the fact that his father Edward, while fearsome and effective, was not that well liked as he was a very tall, lanky and intimidating man with a droopy eye and lisp. In the end Edward II couldn't match his father's achievements and met a very undignified end. Edward III in many ways took the best aspects of his father in terms of his looks and stature and the kingship and martial abilities of his grandfather and was one of England's greatest Kings. There is a very interesting pattern in this period. England tended to have a very ineffectual King that caused unrest and civil war followed by a great King who achieved great military success, followed by another failure of a King. Henry III was weak and ineffective and Edward I experienced this first hand and did everything in his power to reverse his father's failures. Then despite Edward Is abilities his son Edward II was useless in the end. His son Edward II was a great King like his father and his son Edward the Black Prince was a very successful ruler and military commander in his own right. However he died a year before Edward III and the black prince's son Richard II became king. He was a boy when he was crowned and grew up to be an inneffective glutton who spent extravagantly and lost most of the gains of his father and grandfather. He also became a Tyrant in his later years and was eventually deposed by Henry IV who gave way to another of England's great Kings Henry V.

Why Edward III seems so sad about it?

[@jesterofspades3903]
