In 1322 Edmund supported Edward II against the coalition of the marcher lords and Thomas, 2nd earl of Lancaster, who were seeking to force the expulsion of Edward's hated favourites, the Despensers. Edmund besieged Thomas of Lancaster's Yorkshire stronghold of Pontefract and witnessed his execution in 1322. In 1324 Edward made him lieutenant of Aquitaine, where he faced an invation by Charles of Valois. In 1326 Edmund joined Isabella, Edward's queen, in her conspiracy against her husband, and was one of the council appointed to govern for the young Edward III in 1327 after the king's forced abdication. He resisted Isabella's ascendancy and that same year she implicated him in a plot to free Edward II. She had him beheaded in 1330.

[Funk & Wagnalls; The Story of England] FOSTER, BURR, NEWLIN LINE !Daughter of Edmund of Woodstock; married Thomas, Earl of Kent. [Magna Charta Barons, p. 268] England, 10 Oct 1361 - Edward, the Prince of Wales, has surprised everyone by secretly marrying his cousin, the beautiful Countess Joan of Kent, the "Fair Maid of Kent". Political considerations apart, the marriage is still surprising because of Joan's chequered past. It is rumored that the stunning countess was one of the king's mistresses before she married Sir Thomas Holland in 1339. A year later she married William, the Earl of Salisbury, and stayed with him until 1349, when their union was annulled and the validity of the Holland marriage was confirmed. Any, or all, of these reasons may be behind the decision of the prince and his recently-widowed bride to marry in secret and present the world with a fait accompli. Two things are certain: the match is a love match, and it is now too late for anyone to intervene.
