Eduard III. citáty

Eduard III. z rodu Plantagenetovcov bol jeden z najúspešnejších anglických kráľov v stredoveku.

Jeho 50-ročná vláda začala, keď bol jeho otec Eduard II. 25. januára, 1327 zosadený z trónu, a vydržala až do roku 1377. Medzi jeho predchodcami iba Henrich III. vládol tak dlho ako on, a trvalo viac ako 400 rokov, kým ďalší panovník zotrval na tróne tak dlho. Eduardova vláda bola výrazná rozširovaním anglického teritória prostredníctvom vojen v Škótsku a vo Francúzsku. Eduardovi predkovia a jeho fenomenálne potomstvo poskytlo základ pre dve zdĺhavé udalosti v britských a európskych dejinách, storočnú vojnu a vojnu ruží. Wikipedia
