From his sepulchral monument in Westminster Abbey, London, we catch a glimpse of this formidable ruler.

In an intriguing engraving from 1864, we see King Edward III refusing to aid his son Edward Plantagenet – showcasing both strength and complexity within familial relationships. Another captivating scene unfolds before our eyes as we witness the Burghers of Calais standing before Edward III in 1346. This Epinal Picture from the 19th century captures their bravery amidst war's turmoil. Yet it is Queen Philippa who intercedes for these brave souls in another engraving from 1347 - her plea for mercy echoing through time.

One cannot discuss Edward III without acknowledging his military prowess showcased at notable battles like Crecy in France during the Hundred Years War – immortalized through striking engravings that depict scenes filled with valor and determination.
