ANST - Black Knight?

[Tamlin]

OK...enough is enough... 1066 indeed (ha-rumph) go to britannica.com to see the
rest of this article:


 Edward The Black Prince
  b. June 15, 1330, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Eng.
  d. June 8, 1376, Westminster, near London

 also called EDWARD OF WOODSTOCK, PRINCE D'AQUITAINE, PRINCE OF WALES, DUKE OF
CORNWALL, EARL OF CHESTER, son and heir apparent of Edward III of England and
one of the outstanding  commanders during the Hundred Years' War, winning his
major victory at the Battle of Poitiers (1356). His  sobriquet, said to have
come from his wearing black armour, has no contemporary justification and is
found  first in Richard Grafton's Chronicle of England (1568).

 Edward was created Earl of Chester (March 1333), Duke of Cornwall (February
 1337)--the first appearance of this rank in England--and Prince of Wales (May
1343);
 he was Prince of Aquitaine from 1362 to 1372. His first campaign was served
under his
 father in northern France (1346-47), and at the Battle of Crécy (Aug. 26, 1346)
he won
 both his spurs and the famous ostrich plumes and with them the mottoes used by
 himself and subsequent princes of Wales, homout; ich dene ("Courage; I serve";
the
 words are here spelled as Edward himself wrote them; later variants include
houmout
 and ich dien or ich diene). One of the original Knights of the Garter, he was
sent to
 France with independent command in 1355, winning his most famous victory over
the
 French at Poitiers on Sept. 19, 1356.
