Summary
Updated 2026-05-29
Medieval England's most talked-about military commander, the Black Prince racked up major wins during the Hundred Years' War before dying before his dad—which meant his kid Richard II got the throne instead. Contemporaries couldn't stop calling him the ultimate knight.
Biography
About
Edward of Woodstock, known as the Black Prince, was the eldest son and heir apparent of King Edward III of England. He died before his father, and his son Richard II therefore succeeded to the throne instead. Edward was one of the most successful English commanders of the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453). He was regarded by English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his era.
