<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3049491, member: 74968&quot;]Great coin [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] I need to get a penny of Edward the second. Yours has a nicer than usual portrait and I like that much of the obverse legend can be read. You also bought it from one of my favourite sources of English hammered coins. The owner is great to deal with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree with you about the nature of Edward II&#039;s rule. It was awful and darn near disastrous for the nation. In losing to the Scots he gave back most of what his father had earned in his long battles with the Scots. Then there was his relationship with Gaveston. He seemed to spend more time with Gaveston than he did with his queen. This relationship also meant Edward II was neglecting his responsibilities in running the country. This upset his barons who had finally had enough and took steps to remove galveston which they did rather violently.</p><p><br /></p><p>btw I also noticed the sudden change to your avatar<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
