Edward II of England: The Unhappy King

Edward II of England: The Unhappy King 2019 Directed by André Schäfer Tödliches Spiel um die Macht – Edward II. von England

His opponents accused him of being homosexual. The male favorites he gathered around him during his short life gave those malevolent enemies solid arguments to do so. He would not have failed if he had proved himself to be an energetic king. But Edward II of England (1284-1327) never was a king like Edward I Longshanks, his father, or Edward III, his son, were. And his end is shrouded in myth and mystery.
