* HundredPercentAdorationRating: An exceptional military leader, his victories over the French at Crécy and Poitiers made him very popular during his lifetime.



* UniversallyBelovedLeader: An exceptional military leader, his victories over the French at Crécy and Poitiers made him very popular during his lifetime.



* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Historically, one of England's most successful monarchs. England (and later Great Britain) has often thought to have enjoyed a better track record with its queens as opposed to kings, though Edward III is one of nation's legendarily beloved male monarchs. As well as being a brave, frontline fighter, he also modernised the country's court and economy, and much of the imagery we now associate with a MedievalEuropeanFantasy (jousting, knights in armour, vast castles, beautiful princesses etc) is derived from his reign in the 14th Century.
