ward of the See also:crown, was placed by See also:Edward III. under the care of William of Wykeham and See also:Richard Fitzalan, earl of See also:Arundel
.
The position of the See also:young earl, powerful on See also:account of his possessions and hereditary See also:influence in the Welsh See also:marches, was rendered still more important by his See also:marriage in 1368 to Philippa, only daughter of Lionel, See also:duke of See also:Clarence, third son of Edward III
.
Lionel's wife was See also:Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William de See also:Burgh, 6th See also:Lord of See also:Connaught and 3rd earl of See also:Ulster, and Lionel had himself been created earl of Ulster before his marriage

The earl of March, therefore, not only became the representative of one of the See also:chief Anglo-See also:Norman lordships in See also:Ireland in right of his 'wife Philippa, but the latter, on the death of her father shortly after her marriage, stood next in See also:succession to the crown after the See also:Black See also:Prince and his sickly son Richard, after-wards See also:- KING

This marriage had, therefore, far-reaching consequences in the See also:history of See also:England, giving rise to the claim of the See also:house of See also:York to the crown of England, contested in the See also:War of the See also:Roses; Edward IV. being descended from the third son of Edward III. as See also:great-great-See also:grandson of Philippa,countess of March, and in the male See also:line from Edmund, duke of York, fifth son of Edward III

On the See also:accession of Richard II., a See also:minor, in 1377, the earl became a member of the See also:standing council of See also:government; though as father of the See also:heir-presumptive to the crown he wisely abstained from claiming any actually administrative See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
