Notes

Widely rumoured to have been either homosexual or bisexual, Edward nevertheless fathered at least five children by two women. He was unable to deny even the most grandiose favours to his male favourites (first a Gascon knight named Piers Gaveston, who was banished by Edwards father, and, as a first regal command when he becomes king, is reinstated as Edward's right hand man. And also, later, a young English lord named Hugh Despenser, which led to constant political unrest and his eventual deposition. The architect of that deposition is none other than his wife, Isabelle of France (and her lover, Hugh Mortimer).
