Edward II and Piers Gaveston

I love them both loads, I have to admit, and I was pondering how to draw them for quite a while.
As I always draw what I see when I connect to historical persons and/or energies, I was fairly picky here and did lots of sketches.
But now I am highly pleased.

Edward II.

Edward II (25 April 1284 – 1327), called Edward of Caernarfon, was King of England from 1307 until he was deposed by his wife Isabella in January 1327. He was the sixth Plantagenet king.

Piers Gaveston, nicknamed Perrot, the 1st Earl of Cornwall, was born in 1284 – most likely on July 18th - and died 19 June 1312.
He was the favourite and (what I am covinced of) lover of King Edward II of England.

    Hi everybody, here is a new novel about King Edward II of England, and a website dedicated to an exciting new archival research project aimed at discovering the truth about how he really died. The novel comes highly recommended by Kathryn Warner.
