The "Black Prince" refers to Edward of Woodstock, the eldest son of King Edward III of England. Born in 1330, he became a prominent military leader during the Hundred Years' War against France. Known for his bravery and tactical skills, he earned the nickname "Black Prince" due to his black armor and the heraldic symbol of a black shield. The Black Prince is best remembered for his significant victories at the battles of Crécy and Poitiers. His leadership helped establish English dominance in the early phases of the war. He died in 1376, before his father, leaving a legacy as one of England's most celebrated knights.
