He inherited a kingdom, lost a war, and was deposed by his own wife. Edward II ruled England from 1307 to 1327, and almost nothing about his reign went the way it was supposed to.
This free illustrated guide covers the full story of one of medieval England's most contested kings — in a single, densely researched, beautifully designed portrait poster. It does not flatten Edward into a villain or a victim. It places him where he actually belonged: a man of intense personal loyalty in a political world that rewarded neither loyalty nor sentiment.
The poster maps the key events of his reign in sequence: the Ordinances of 1311, the execution of Gaveston in 1312, the catastrophic defeat at Bannockburn in 1314, the rise of the Dispensers through the 1320s, Isabella's invasion of 1326, and the forced abdication of 1327. It examines the relationships that defined him, the enemies who destroyed him, and the mystery of his death at Berkeley Castle on 21 September 1327. Murdered? Perhaps. Escaped? The evidence is thinner than the story suggests.
Four questions historians still argue: Was he incompetent or simply dealt an impossible hand? Were he and Gaveston lovers? Was he murdered at Berkeley? Did he survive and live out his years in obscurity under the name William le Galeys? This poster presents the evidence and lets you form your own view.
Born at Caernarfon Castle in 1284, he was the first English Prince of Wales. He died — probably — at Berkeley. In between, he was charming, stubborn, devoted, and entirely unfit for the age he was born into.
This guide is for students revising medieval kingship, teachers building classroom resources on baronial conflict and royal authority, and anyone who finds the textbook version of Edward II suspiciously tidy.
