Edward of Woodstock (15 June 1330 - 8 June 1376), known to history as the Black Prince, was the eldest son and heir apparent of King Edward III of England. He died before his father and so his son, Richard II, succeeded to the throne instead. Edward nevertheless earned distinction as one of the most successful English commanders during the Hundred Years War, being regarded by his English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age.
Edward was made Duke of Cornwall, the first English dukedom, in 1337. He was guardian of the kingdom in his fathers absence in 1338, 1340, and 1342. He was created Prince of Wales in 1343 and knighted by his father at La Hougue in 1346.
