Narrative

Edward was King during the time of the War of the Roses between the Houses of York and Lancaster, of which he was a member. He was valiant in battle, never defeated, but his careless trust in his companions led to many complications. He was claimed to be the handsomest King ever, and when his coffin was opened at Windsor in 1789 his skeleton measured a full six feet three inches.
