Edmund, 2nd Earl of Kent

Edmund, 2nd Earl of Kent (1326 – before 5 October 1331) was a member of the English royal family.

He inherited the Earldom of Kent in 1331, a year after his father, Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent, was attainted. His mother was Margaret Wake, 3rd Baroness Wake of Liddell. In 1330 he was, on the petition of his mother and the reversal of his father's condemnation, recognised as Earl of Kent.[1] He was succeeded in the earldom by his younger brother John, 3rd Earl of Kent.
