    About Edward II of England

    Edward II was King of England from 1307 until 1327, succeeding his father Edward I. He was known for his controversial relationship with Piers Gaveston, which may have been friendship, love, or a sworn brotherhood. Gaveston's influence caused discontent among barons and the French royal family, leading to his exile.
