"In the time of Edward III..." (Reigned 1312 - 1377). Edward III, King of England was born 13 NOV 1312, Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England and acceded 1 FEB 1327, Westminster Abbey, London, England. He died: 21 JUN 1377, Sheen Palace, Surrey and was interred: Westminster Abbey, London.
Edward assumed effective power in 1330 after imprisoning his mother and executing her lover Roger de Mortimer who had murdered his father; thereafter his reign was dominated by military adventures. His victory in Scotland, especially at Haildon Hill 1333 encouraged him to plan (1363) the union of England and Scotland. Through his mother he claimed the French throne thus starting (1337) the Hundred Years War. His son John of Gaunt dominated the government during his last years. Died of a stroke.
King Charles V ("The Wise") of France (1337-1380) is mentioned as one of the monarchs experimenting with the most up-to-date time keeping instrument of this period: a candle clock, which kept track of time by the amount of oil it consumed. As expensive as oil was, only the very rich could afford such a luxury...."

Philip married Britton [49068] [MRIN: 551612276], daughter of John Britton [49076] and Unknown, in 1332.
