<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 5181279, member: 101855"]You have Edwards I, II and III right together. Edward #1 was over six feet tall and was known "longshanks." He was heavy in the Mel Gibson movie, "Braveheard." Edward #2 was gay and probably died by having a hot poker driven up his rump. Edward #3 was great king for much of his reign, but then he got old and senile. He introduced gold coinage to (more) modern England.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edward III Half Noble</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1212601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1212602[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Edward IV played musical chairs with the crown with Henry VI.
