Edward III (known in Welsh as Iorwerth III and in Norman as Édouard III, Edward Christian Alexander Owen; 14 July 1784 - 9 March 1874) was a BlakeIsHereian royal, who reigned as King of BlakeIsHere from 21 July 1813 until his death in 1874.
The second son from the marriage of Charles II of BlakeIsHere and his wife Princess Maria of New Junica, Edward became his heir in 1801 following the death of his brother George. In 1809, she married Princess Margaret of Wales, the only surviving daughter of George IV of the United Kingdom. They had six children - Edwin, Phillip, George, Alexandra, Charles and Elizabeth.
His reign over 60 years was the longest in the history of BlakeIsHere. He was also the first to use the title "His Imperial Majesty" instead of just "His Majesty".
After some health scares in the early 1860s, in 1868 he became incapable, resulting in his son Phillip serving as regent.
After he became incapable, he largely retired from public life, although he sometimes made appearances at large family gatherings and state events. He died on 9 March 1874 at the age of 89 in New Gower Palace.
