Edmund was born on August 5th, 1301 in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. Edmund's father was King Edward I ("Longshanks") of England and his mother was Margeurite Princess of France. His paternal grandparents were King Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence. He had a brother and a sister, named Thomas and Eleanor. He was the second oldest of the three children. He had five half-brothers and eleven half-sisters, named Joan, John, Henry, Alfonso, Edward, Eleanor, Katherine, Joan, Margaret, Berengaria, Mary, Isabella, Alice, Elizabeth, Beatrice and Blanche. He died due to Execution at the age of 28 on March 19th, 1330 in Winchester, Hampshire, England.General Notes
He was sentenced to death by Sir Robert de Hauville for treason, having supported his half-brother, the deposed King Edward II, by order of the Regents the Earl of March and Queen Isabella, before the outer walls of Winchester Castle. It was said that he believed Edward II to be still alive and had conspired to rescue him from prison. Such was public hostility to the execution that "he had to wait five hours for an executioner, because nobody wanted to do it", until a convicted murderer offered to do the deed in exchange for a pardon.
He was buried on 31 March at the Church of the Dominican Friars in Winchester.
