Just a bit of trivia to follow Tamlin's excellent info on the Black Prince - there is (or was, when I was last there in 1987) a pub in the town of Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, called "The Black Prince", with a knight in black armour on its sign.  As I recall, they served an excellent locally made real ale.  I had not made the connection before (having been more concerned with the quality of the beer than the name of the pub), but now realize that it must have been named for Prince Edward.  Even after having lived in England for nearly 10 years, I still get pleasantly surprised at the connection there between modern life and thousands of years of history.
