<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3387048, member: 101855&quot;]That Edward II coin is nicer than mine. After Edward’s first companion was beheaded, he found another “friend,” Hugh Despenser. Hugh and his father lived well from the king’s gifts while the rest of England living through a famine. Ultimately Edward’s long ignored wife and her lover, Roger Mortimer rose up and deposed him. Desperser was executed in a way consistent with the reported demise of the allegedly gay king.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edward II’s son, who became Edward III, lived under the thumb of Edward’s former queen and her lover. Mortimer, until he came of age. At that time he sent his mother into exile and had Mortimer executed for treason. Edward III would be one of England’s successful kings. He would introduce gold coinage to the British monetary syste,.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
