As prince, he was a vassel of the King of France and ruled Gascony in France as Duke of Aquitaine, often referred to as 'the Lord Edward'. He was abroad when his father died, but instead of rushing home he paid homage to the Pope and visited Gascony on the way back to England. He had an eye for business and made sure his affairs were being run efficiently before he left. He also put down a revolt by a French nobleman. All this strengthened his bond with the local people and the King of France. On his return to England he had to contend with Welsh and Scottish unrest. Condition Summary.

I am unquestionably a people person in so far as I like to know the person at the end of the telephone, or those with whom I like to know the seller. Please do not think me egotistical, however, it is important that people know exactly who I am. I have been involved in the antiques business since 1971. My career took a leap forward when I joined Bonhams in 1976. Some five years later I became head of the Decorative Arts department. The same year I was invited by the BBC to take part in the Antiques Roadshow four decades later I am still enjoying being a part of the team. Code: RNC110
