Edmund of Woodstock was 1st Earl of Kent of the fourth creation, not the first creation, as can be seen by clicking on the link to "Earl of Kent". --ScottyFLL 21:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't get the part of his death being in retailation for Edward I's defeat of Simon de Montfort. The Battle of Evesham happened some 65 years before his execution? And the Mortimer's certainly were on the side of the crown, seeing as one of this Mortimer's ancestor sent Simon's head to his wife at Wigmore following the slaughter at Evesham.
