The former has the distinction of not making clear whether Harold Godwineson (Earl of Wessex) or William the Bastard (Duke of Normandy) should succeed him. His lack of clarity resulted in the brutal Norman conquest of England.Edward III, father of the Black Prince, was king in the early years of the Hundred Years War, fought between England and France.The attachment of a number, after the name of the king, was a post Anglo-Saxon device. Prior to the conquest kings were known by their name, often followed by 'son of'.
