  Gender	Male
  Military	26 Aug 1346	Crécy-en-Ponthieu, Somme, France   [4]
  		Battle of Crécy At Crécy, Edward III and his long-bowmen earned a signal victory over a numerically superior French force. Edward had the advantage of the high ground; moreover, the ground before him was terraced, a feature that forced the French cavalry to mass on Edward's right where his son was in command. Denied the ability to manuever, the numbers became a liability for the French. "[T]he majority were crushed to death," according to Geoffrey le Baker. The slaughter among the nobility was so great that Philip VI's ability to govern was materially impaired. English influence on the continent experienced a revival.
  Title	23 Apr 1348	Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire   [5]
  	Third inaugural Knight of the Garter.
  		Knights of the Order of St. George of the Garter "The Order of the Garter is the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry and was founded by Edward III in 1348." The official website of the British Monarchy.
  Military	19 Sep 1356	Nouaillé, Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France
  		Battle of Poitiers At the Battle of Poitiers, the isolated and outnumbered army of the Prince of Wales defeated King John II. As at Crécy, the Anglo-Gascon force made good, defensive use of the field by occupying high ground that was broken to their front and offered security to the flanks and rear. Unlike Crécy, John was able to bring up his army in good order. As attrition began to tell for the French, Wales turned their flank with a desperate and wholly unexpected cavalry charge. John and his son Philip were captured on the field.
  Died	13 Nov 1369	Calais, Pale of Calais
