Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent

Edmund of Woodstock (1301–1330), 1st Earl of Kent, was a younger son of Edward I and half-brother of Edward II. He was made Earl of Kent in 1321 and helped put down a baronial revolt.

In 1326 he joined Queen Isabella and Roger Mortimer in deposing the king, but soon fell out with their regime. In 1330 he was convicted of plotting to free Edward II and beheaded at Winchester. Edward III annulled the charges, and Kent passed to his son.
