Throughout the history of Britain, almost not many British kings have been emperors, even if they are not a generation of emperors with outstanding martial arts, at least they are also brilliant emperors. However, there is such a king in British history, his father is a generation of emperors with outstanding martial arts, and his son is active in expanding the territory, almost conquering France, and he is the most faint king in British history.
The most obscure king in English history was Edward II of the Plantagenet dynasty, whose father was Edward I and whose son was Edward III.
Edward II, the sixth king of the Plantagenet dynasty of England
Edward II was born in 1284 AD and was the eldest son of Edward I, the fifth king of the Plantagenet dynasty of England. Nicknamed "Long Legs", Edward I was a king who was very prominent in both civil and martial arts. A few months before Edward II was born, Edward I had just fulfilled the long-cherished wish of previous generations of kings to conquer Wales and bring Wales into the kingdom of England.
Although Edward I conquered Wales by force, he still made a member of the royal family as their nominal head of state according to the wishes of the Welsh people, officially named "Prince of Wales", but did not have any authoritarian power. At this time, Edward I just brought Queen Elena to Wales and gave birth to his eldest son, Edward II, so Edward I took the opportunity to make the eldest son the first Prince of Wales.
According to the law of succession to the throne of the Kingdom of England, Edward II was given the status of the first heir to the throne, that is, the status of crown prince. Therefore, Edward I made a pact with the Welshmen that in any case, the title of Crown Prince of England was the Prince of Wales, and the nominal head of state of the Welsh, and this agreement would remain unchanged for a thousand years.

It turns out that the agreement between the English and the Welshmen has been kept for more than seven hundred years, and even though there have been constant dynastic changes in England during this period, the title of Crown Prince of England has not changed.
Speaking of Edward II, he somehow did not like his father at all, did not like to govern the country, did not like to practice martial arts, only liked how to have fun, Edward I was very headache for this son of the crown prince. In 1307, Edward I died of illness after a long-term thought about Queen Elena, who had already died of illness, and the 23-year-old Edward II immediately succeeded to the throne as the sixth king of the Plantagenet dynasty.
The kingdom of England that Edward II inherited was quite rich and powerful, the richest and most powerful country in Europe at the time, all due to the efforts of several generations of Kings of the Plantagenet Dynasty, especially his father Edward I, but Edward II was not at all willing to govern this rich and powerful country, but handed the country over to a few of his closest ministers.

In fact, these confidant ministers are ostensibly ministers, but in fact they are edward II's male favorites. According to accurate historical records, Edward II had homosexual tendencies from an early age, not only had no interest in beautiful women, but often had close contact with handsome men. When Edward II was crown prince, his father Edward I found him a crown princess, Princess Isabella from the Capetian dynasty of France.
Edward II has been indifferent to Princess Isabella since his marriage to Herabela, but as Crown Prince, he still has two sons and two daughters with Princess Isabella, the eldest of whom is Edward III, the seventh King of the Plantagenet Dynasty. Nevertheless, Edward III's indifference to Princess Isabella and his intimate contact with the handsome man made Princess Isabella resentful of him, and after he succeeded to the throne, without the supervision of his father Edward I, this behavior was even more unscrupulous, he was gay and the adoption of male pets was already a well-known thing in the Manchu Dynasty.
Because Edward II was too indulgent in male pets to govern the country, some members of the royal family rebelled against his male pets, but they were brutally suppressed by Edward II and his male pets, and all those involved were executed.

Princess Isabella could not bear Edward II's fainting incompetence any longer, and she decided to turn to her mother,,the Capetian dynasty of France, who was reigning as her brother Charles IV. Charles IV was the 15th king of the Capetian dynasty, and when he received a plea for help from his sister Princess Isabella, he immediately sent troops to support him, and the two sides fought a fierce war.
Finally, in 1327 AD, Edward II and his male favorites were defeated, and he himself was captured and put under house arrest, and the male pets were executed. During Edward II's house arrest, Princess Isabella hated her gay husband to the bone, so she ordered a red-hot iron rod to be inserted into his anus, causing Edward II to die a painful death.
In fact, whether Princess Isabella really ordered someone to insert a red-hot iron rod into Edward II's anus and die is still a historical question, and there is no historical or evidence to confirm it, but it is certain that Edward II was finally executed by Princess Isabella herself.
After the death of Edward II, the eldest son, Edward III, succeeded to the throne. Edward III, humiliated by his father Edward II and modeled by his grandfather Edward I, diligently governed the country, continued to make the Kingdom of England rich and strong, and provoked the Hundred Years' War between England and France, almost conquered France, and undoubtedly became a generation of Ming emperors in British history.
