Edward III. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Edward, who had gone to Scotland on an unsuccessful expedition in 1327, resented the terms of the Treaty of Northampton (1328), by which he had renounced the Scottish throne, and decided to support Edward de Baliol against the young Scottish king David II. Edward’s initially good relations with the church were damaged by the Statute of Provisors (1351) and the Statutes of Praemunire (first issued 1353), which were aimed at reducing papal influence on the English church, and by the king’s attempts to get more money from the church. By this time Edward was under the influence of his greedy mistress, Alice Perrers, and the political scene became one of rivalry between the court party headed by John of Gaunt and the clerical party led by the Black Prince. www.bartleby.com /65/ed/Edward3.html   (870 words)

Exclusive Medieval Articles - Chivalry during the Reign of King Edward III   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) Edward was able to understand the benefits that chivalrous tournaments could bring him, and he "used chivalry to glorify himself" and his wars through his encouragement of tournaments, as well as his own (and even his sons') participation in them (Waugh 130). Edward III thus formed an alliance with the nobility, and not only did the order act as a symbol of this alliance, but it helped him to "play on the chivalric pretensions of the nobility and use membership of the order as a supplement to other more costly forms of patronage" (Ormrod 19). Edward III was also able to spread the political influence of the chivalric order (and in effect his own influence) further in other ways. www.shadowedrealm.com /articles/exclusive/article.php?id=2   (4001 words)

Edward III (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Reign of King Edward III is an Elizabethan play often attributed to William Shakespeare. The first is centered on the Countess of Salisbury (the wife of the Earl of Salisbury), who, beset by rampaging Scots, is "rescued" by King Edward III, who vows to get her into his bed. The play makes many gibes at Scotland and the Scots, a view which has led some critics to believe that it is this work which caused George Nicolson, Queen Elizabeth's agent in Edinburgh, to write in 1598 to William Cecil, Lord Burghley, protesting the way Scots were being portrayed on the London stage. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Edward_III_(play)   (724 words)

Renaissance Forum: Volume 4, Number 1, 1999: Emma Smith Studies of Shakespeare and authorship have tended to lag behind theoretical discussions of the role of the author in the text, and the introduction to Pericles, and to King Edward III, could stand as usefully under-theorised complements for students reading Barthes' 'The Death of the Author' and Foucault's 'What is an author?'. Without the association of 'Shakespeare', King Edward III in particular, and Pericles to a lesser extent, would not be available in these scrupulous, scholarly and important editions. Analysing the play as a prelude to Shakespeare's second historical cycle which begins with Richard II, Melchiori finds in King Edward III patterns of reunion, advice, reformation and victory recognisable from the Henry IV plays and Henry V, and the introduction is more concerned with Shakespearean parallels than with the wider genre of history. www.hull.ac.uk /renforum/v4no1/smith.htm   (1238 words)
