Progeny of King Edward III (1327-1377), 1840 drawing of the six surviving brass statuettes (from the original twelve) on south side of his tomb in Westminster Abbey, in order as on monument (http://www.westminster-abbey.org/our-history/royals/edward-iii). Originally there were bronze weepers (or statuettes) of his twelve children around the tomb but only six of these now remain on the south side, some with enamelled coats of arms below. Left to right:

• 1: Edward the "Black Prince", eldest son and heir apparent who predeceased his father. Father of King Richard II.
• 2: Joan (1334/5-1348) died of the plague in Bordeaux, aged 14, en route to Spain to marry Pedro I, King of Castile and Leon (1334-1369), the father of her two sisters-in-law, Constance of Castile (wife of her brother John of Gaunt) and Isaballa of Castile (wife of her brother Edmund of Langley). Buried in Bayonne Cathedral, Bayonne, an English possession.
• 3: Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence, 2nd son of King Edward III. His great-grand-daughter and heiress was Anne de Mortimer, mother of Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York, father of Kings Edward IV (Duke of York) and his brother and successor King Richard III. King Edward IV claimed the throne due to his descent from Lionel of Antwerp, 2nd son of King Edward III, not from his direct paternal ancestor Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York, 4th son of King Edward III.
• 4: Edmund of Langley, 1st Duke of York (1341-1420) born and buried at King's Langley in Hertfordshire. His first wife was Isabella of Castile (1355–1392), a daughter of Pedro I, King of Castile and Leon (1334-1369). Isabella's sister Constance of Castile (1354–1394) married Edmund's elder brother John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster. Edmund of Langley was the direct male ancestor of Kings Edward IV (Duke of York) and his brother and successor King Richard III.
• 5: Mary, Duchess of Brittany (1344-1361/2), 4th daughter, born at Waltham near Winchester. In 1361 at Woodstock Palace she married Jean V, Duke of Brittany, without issue. Died aged 17/18, buried in Abingdon Abbey in Oxfordshire, with sister Margaret;
• 6: William of Hatfield (1336-1337), second son, died in infancy; born at Hatfield, West Riding of Yorkshire, buried in York Minster, where survives his effigy and monument;
