Edward of Woodstock, known to history as the Black Prince, was the eldest son of King Edward III of England, and the heir apparent to the English throne. He died before his father and so his son, Richard II, succeeded to the throne instead. Edward nevertheless earned distinction as one of the most successful English commanders during the Hundred Years' War, being regarded by his English contemporaries as a model of chivalry and one of the greatest knights of his age.The abbreviated Latin legends should read in full on obverse as "Edwardvs, Primo Genitvs Regis Anglie Princeps Aqvitanie" which translates as "Edward, first born of the King of England, Prince of Aquitaine." On the reverse the full Latin legend should be "Dominus adjutor et protector meum et in ipso speravit cor mevm" which translates as "The Lord is my strength and my shield, and my heart hath trusted him." A Psalm from the Bible.
