6. Edward Prince of Wales 1330-1376; (the Black Prince) in his role of
Border Guardian of the Welsh Marches and later of Gascony and

Acquitaine. [the derivation is contested: _mel_= 'black + margrave';

or it is possibly merely 'black+ greave' because his armor was black

- some historians think that he was given the name 'the black prince'

,because of the color of his armor, only after his death but this

usage suggest that it was earlier than that: possibly as early as

1343 when he became Prince of Wales]
