So let me see.
Is this article about Edward the III, Shakespeare’s ultimate murdering bad guy?
And from whence did Edward the Longshanks appear? - (Edward the ____) - another Edwardian bad guy.
No, but if you have ever seen the movie “A Knight’s Tale”, Edward the Black Prince is the “mystery knight” who the main character beats in a joust, and who turns out to be a prince of England. He was a notable commander in the Hundred Year’s War.
It took a long while to figure out that Kyd (who died in prison) had written “The Spanish Tragedy”, which is, uh, tragic.
