His father was Edward III of England, who came king at the youthful age of fourteen times in 1327,

when his
father( and the Black Prince's forefather) Edward II of England was deposed by his woman
Isabella of
France, son of Philip IV of France, and by the English nobility due to his ineffectiveness and weakness to
assert his control over the government and his failed wars against Scotland. His mama , Philippa of Hainault,
was the son of William II, Count of Hainault. The marriage between his mama and father was arranged by his
grandmother, Isabella of France, to get fiscal and military aid from the Count of Hainault for her own benefit
to depose her hubby, Edward II. The marriage of Edward III and Phillippa of Hainault produced thirteen
children; Edward was the eldest child and eldest son.
