I first discovered about him at university, form a friend in the road construction business. He was building a bypass arounbd Warwick, and he found Piers Gaveston's Cross which marks the alleged spot where he was murdered. http://www.video-images.freeserve.co.uk/gaveston_monum.htm though I do not recall it as in woods near a car park

Then I learnt why. And learnt how his lover, the King was murdered.

Schools pretty much ignore the method of Edward's death. He was "done to death by the nobles" is how it is put. Being homosexual was not tolerated then, either
