Edward, also known as Edward of Windsor, became king when his mother Isabella of France deposed his father Edward II and crowned the 15 year old Edward in his place. Isabella and her lover governed in Edward's name for 4 years and persuaded him to grant the Scots their independence in 1328. After having Mortimer ( Isabella's lover) executed in 1330 Edward became the sole ruler of England. He asserted his right to the French crown and began the 100 year war. What was he really like? History really doesn't report this, but I would say he was like a lot of men of his time and was selfish, had a large ego, and removed from his people.
