| Notes for Edmund PLANTAGENET , Earl of Leicester, King of Sicily, Earl of Chester |
| "In 1253 he was invested by the Pope in the Kingdom of Sicily and Apulia; at about this time he was also made Earl of Chester. These were of little value as the real King of Sicily was still living and the Earldom of Chester was transfered to his elder brother Edward. He soon obtained, however, both possessions and dignities [by] the forfeiture of Simon de Montfort by the King of the Earldom of Leicester, and also the honour of the Stewardship of England and the lands of Nicolas de Segrave. CP, vol. VII, pp. 378-387, pp.547."149 |
