| Edward was born at Windsor Castle on 13 November 1312, and was often referred to as Edward of Windsor in his early years.[3] The reign of his father, Edward II, was a particularly problematic period of English history.[4] One source of contention was the king's inactivity, and repeated failure, in the ongoing war with Scotland.[5] Another controversial issue was the king's exclusive patronage of a small group of royal favourites.[6] The birth of a male heir in 1312 temporarily improved Edward II's position in relation to the baronial opposition.[7] To further bolster the independent prestige of the young prince, the king had him created Earl of Chester at only twelve days of age.[8] handmade soapsfive pounds | |
