And he was not long after that time Edward was born, by countess of the duchy of Bologna, and was named after his father, Edward, and was called by his true name, John. After his birth, his father's attendants took him to school, and there he was taught all the languages of the country, and when he was eighteen he was sent to Oxford, where he studied for two years, and then to Paris, where he stayed for another two years, after which he was sent back to England, and when he returned he was already a very well-known person, and was called the 'Prince of the French.'

His first name was Philip, but he was given the English name of John, and was called the 'Prince of the English.'

He was also made Duke of Calabria, and in 1488 he was made Duke of Calabria and Sicily. He was also made Duke of Calabria and τριτον οἰκονομίαν, and in 1489 he was made Duke of Calabria, Sicily, and τριτον οἰκονομίαν.
