Daughter of Edward the Elder. She was a nun at Winchester, and after her
death a cult started, but it's not at all clear what she is meant to have
*done*. This is her feast day.

Born on this day in 1330 to King Edward III of England and Philippa of
Hainault, Edward the Black Prince (my

,wikipedia).
Son and heir of Edward III, he died before his father and was never King.
Edward spent much of his life in Spain, and engaged in a lot of fighting
there, it may be dysentery caught on campaign that killed him
