Features and Provenance:  It has been calculated by a genealogist. that nearly every Briton is related to Edward III! Whether true or not. he and his wife. Phillippa of Hainault had eight sons and five daughters. so they made a significant contribution to the gene pool.

During his reign the Black Death. caused by bubonic plague was rife. killing 200 million people world-wide. It lasted for four years and three of Edward’s children died. It is estimated that between 25 and 45 percent of the entire population died and the death toll was highest within the peasantry.

The heavens for the NHS and modern medicine.
