I have removed this " who was of Jewish descent. Peggy K. Liss, "Isabel the Queen," New York: Oxford University Press, 1992, p. 165; James Reston, Jr. "Dogs of God," New York: Doubleday, p. 18", referring to Maria de Padilla because her page makes no mention of any Jewish ancestry, and even if she were, thrusting that fact into Edward's page smacks of trying to make a point, not pure encyclopædia-building. I've put it here, though, in case i am disagreed with. Cheers, Lindsay 23:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
His death,in Shakespeare

It hardly matters - but in fact no circumstances of his death are given in Shakespeare's play, merely the fact.

9/10 men-at-arms on the French side, and all of the English, fought on foot. Therefore, it makes precious little sense to say Edward was unhorsed and unable to stand. Thoughts?

It seems the title of the page should be changed to 'Edward, 2nd Duke of York' or 'Edward of Langley, 2nd Duke of York'.
According to Cokayne in The Complete Peerage, Vol XII, Part II, p. 900, the only support for the modern assertion that Edward was styled 'of Norwich' is found in a French chronicle, and Cokayne suggests that the phrase 'de Norwik' found therein is a corruption or faulty reading of 'Deverwik', the usual French rendering for the phrase 'of York' at the time.
The older edition of the Dictionary of National Biography apparently adopted the reading of this French chronicle, but the revised article in the online ODNB, written by Rosemary Horrox, adopts Cokayne's view. Horrox writes:
The Monk of Evesham styles him Edward of Langley. The appellation Edward of Norwich (‘de norwik’) is probably a misreading of ‘d'everwick’ (of York), the appellation regularly used during his father's lifetime.
