Edward, the Black Prince

has biography | a une biographie: Eldest son and heir apparent of King Edward III of England.

Although Edward obviously predates the British Empire, his nickname "The Black Prince" (an appellation whose origins are uncertain) raises interesting questions about the meanings of blackness in fourteenth century Europe, or indeed how ideas of blackness have been reconfigured in the present. His equestrian statue in Leeds was also dedicated as a tribute to Edward VII, who was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 1901 until 1910.
