John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall
John of Eltham, 1st Earl of Cornwall (15 August 1316 – 13 September 1336) was the second son of Edward II of England and Isabella of France.
He was heir presumptive to the English throne until the birth of his nephew Edward, the Black Prince.
John of Cornwall (grammarian)
John of Cornwall, possibly called in Latin Johannes Cornubiensis or Johannes de Sancto Germano was a 14th- century scholar and teacher, author of the English grammar" Speculum Grammaticale"
He is not to be confused with the twelfth- century theologian John of Cornwall who authored the" Eulogium ad Alexandrum Papam III".
There was also a Benedictine monk John of St. Germans who wrote a" Commentarius in Aristotelis libros duo analyticorum posteriorum"( now at the Magdalen College, Oxford); it is not clear whether these were the same person.
It has been claimed as one of the great ironies of history that three Cornish- speaking Cornishmen brought the English language back from the verge of extinction- John of Cornwall, John Trevisa and Richard Pencrych.
John of Cornwall (theologian)
John of Cornwall, in Latin Johannes Cornubiensis or Johannes de Sancto Germano was a Christian scholar and teacher, who was living in Paris about 1176.
He is not to be confused with the fourteenth- century John of Cornwall who expounded Latin at his grammar school in English instead of French.
There was also an archdeacon of Worcester called John of Cornwall around 1197, who probably was a different person.
Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox
Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox( 21 September 15164 September 1571), was the fourth Earl of Lennox, and a leader of the Catholic nobility in Scotland.
He was the son of John Stewart, 3rd Earl of Lennox and Lady Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl.
His grandson was King James VI of Scotland and I of England.
Isabel Marshal
Isabel Marshal (9 October 1200 – 17 January 1240) was a medieval English countess.
She was the wife of both Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester and Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (son of King John of England).
With the former, she was a great grandmother of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland.
Edward II of England
Edward II (25 April 1284 – 21 September 1327), also called Edward of Carnarvon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed in January 1327.
The fourth son of Edward I, Edward became the heir apparent to the throne following the death of his elder brother Alphonso.
Beginning in 1300, Edward accompanied his father on campaigns to pacify Scotland, and in 1306 was knighted in a grand ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Following his father's death, Edward succeeded to the throne in 1307.
He married Isabella, the daughter of the powerful King Philip IV of France, in 1308, as part of a long-running effort to resolve tensions between the English and French crowns.
Edward had a close and controversial relationship with Piers Gaveston, who had joined his household in 1300.
The precise nature of his and Gaveston's relationship is uncertain; they may have been friends, lovers or sworn brothers.
Edward's relationship with Gaveston inspired Christopher Marlowe's 1592 play "Edward II", along with other plays, films, novels and media.
Gaveston's power as Edward's favourite provoked discontent among both the barons and the French royal family, and Edward was forced to exile him.
On Gaveston's return, the barons pressured the king into agreeing to wide-ranging reforms, called the Ordinances of 1311.
The newly empowered barons banished Gaveston, to which Edward responded by revoking the reforms and recalling his favourite.
Led by Edward's cousin, the Earl of Lancaster, a group of the barons seized and executed Gaveston in 1312, beginning several years of armed confrontation.
English forces were pushed back in Scotland, where Edward was decisively defeated by Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Widespread famine followed, and criticism of the king's reign mounted.
The Despenser family, in particular Hugh Despenser the Younger, became close friends and advisers to Edward, but Lancaster and many of the barons seized the Despensers' lands in 1321, and forced the king to exile them.
In response, Edward led a short military campaign, capturing and executing Lancaster.
Edward and the Despensers strengthened their grip on power, formally revoking the 1311 reforms, executing their enemies and confiscating estates.
Unable to make progress in Scotland, Edward finally signed a truce with Robert.
Opposition to the regime grew, and when Isabella was sent to France to negotiate a peace treaty in 1325, she turned against Edward and refused to return.
Instead, she allied herself with the exiled Roger Mortimer, and invaded England with a small army in 1326.
Edward's regime collapsed and he fled to Wales, where he was captured in November.
The king was forced to relinquish his crown in January 1327 in favour of his 14-year-old son, Edward III, and he died in Berkeley Castle on 21 September, probably murdered on the orders of the new regime.
Edward's contemporaries criticised his performance as king, noting his failures in Scotland and the oppressive regime of his later years, although 19th-century academics later argued that the growth of parliamentary institutions during his reign was a positive development for England over the longer term.
Debate over his perceived failures has continued into the 21st century.
