A very comprehensive look at all of the monarchs of England can be found on the following WIKI page.
Edward I 1272 - 1307
Famously portrayed as a tyrannical leader in the film Braveheart, Edward (sometimes called Edward Longshanks, he was over six feet tall, or the Hammer of the Scots) appears in history as a many facetted character, getting a lot very right and some things very wrong.
He was part of the eight or ninth crusade, depending upon whether you include the earlier fifth and sixth crusades as a single action, to retake Acre, was involved in the lesser known civil war called the Baron's War, lead wars against Scotland and Wales as well as having all of his money stolen in the largest heist in history in 1303 by Richard of Pudlicot.
One of his greatest legacies to history was the appointment the chancellor of Robert Burnell who documented so much of Edward's reign, which is why we know so much about him today.
Edward II 1307 - 1327
Remembered by history as a fairly ineffective King. Most famously beaten by Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn he saw much of the lands taken by his father lost through conflicts as he sought to gain control of the lands through ignored peerages.Famously believed to be homosexual he certainly allowed his male court favourites to rule his reign and gain very wealthy favours from him. He is also believed by many to have been killed after his abdication by having a red hot rod anally inserted through a colder metal tube, however popular this form of death is believed to be there is no contemporary evidence for it.
Edward III 1327 - 1377
Edward III is perhaps most famously known as the father of the Black Prince. However during his reign England won the main land battles of the Hundred Year war (Crecy and Poitiers) that would see the small Island nation possess more of France than the French. History turned against him in the 18th Century labelling him as a wreckless adventurer, but recently the tide has turned back in his favour relabelling him as one of the most successful kings of his time. Very much a king of his period he was interested in the things kings of the time should be, warfare and campaigning; frequently leaving the affairs of state to others, a decision that would come back to haunt him once the successful battles dried out.
The latter end of his reign was dogged with internal strife and politicking; neither appearing to have been great favourites of Edward's duties, after a series of disasters and changes of fortune the massive territories through France where reduced to a few coastal towns including Calais and his power slowly slipped from him.
Dying possibly of either a stroke or gonorriah leaving the crown to Richard II who was the son of the Black Prince who had died the year before his father.
Richard II 1377 - 1399 (Deposed)
Famously addressing the peasants during the Great Rising of 1381 (Peasants Revolt, Tylers Uprising) at only 14 years old the future looked bright again for England and her concerns. However, through mismanaging the Barons, predominant believe in Royal Prerogative and possibly suffering from personality disorders things ended badly for him, being deposed in 1399 and being blamed by many for the start of the Wars of the Roses. Infamously villified by Shakespeare in his play Richard II history has gradually come to his defence as the character in the play bares very little resemblence to its historical counterpart.
