"King Edward III" by William Shakespeare is an Elizabethan play printed in 1596. When King Edward learns he may be the rightful heir to France's throne, he prepares to invade—but first must confront a Scottish siege in northern England. There he meets the captivating Countess of Salisbury, leading to a dangerous infatuation that threatens his honor. The play then shifts to Edward's French campaign, where his son, the Black Prince, must prove himself in battle against overwhelming odds at Crécy and Poitiers.
