Death of the Black Prince
June 1376
Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of Edward III and victor of Crécy and Poitiers, died at Westminster of the dysentery he had carried for nine years. His ten-year-old son Richard now stood next in line for the English throne. The chivalric age had buried its golden boy a year before its old king.
