Hey, I've created this article on Richard Edwards. Sorry it's probably not formatted properly. I'm not entirely familiar with Wikipedia layout formatting. Feel free to edit it as needed. --BetramMurgatroyd 17:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Greensleeves
This probably isn't the best place for discussing this, especially as it is hypothetical and insubstantial, but I nonetheless feel the need to put this here for some due consideration. Considering that he was a not only a poet and playwright, but also purportedly the son of Henry VIII; might Richard Edwardes have been the original composer of Greensleeves? ~ Mere Mortal (talk) 00:27, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

John Dryden an illustrator??
Where did Wikipedia get such unfounded information? John Dryden was a poet, there's no mention of him anywhere ever making portraits or engravings. Cdg1072 (talk) 14:46, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

That's a portrait of Geoffrey Chaucer
The image in this article, designated as "Richard Edwardes," is clearly Geoffrey Chaucer. The man in the picture is wearing exactly the same button-down cloak that Chaucer wore, and his head-dress is also identical. The face is identical to that of Chaucer. That's not a portrait of Edwardes, as though someone had made a picture to imply that Edwardes looked like Chaucer. That never happened.

I would suggest replacing the image of Chaucer with the known portrait that's more likely to actually be Richard Edwardes, which turns up in google images. I would also be interested to know why anyone thought the image was Edwardes, or how a picture of Chaucer came to be confused with this man.Cdg1072 (talk) 14:57, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

FAMILY MOTTO: Duw fyddo ein cryfdwr - God be our strength.

The name EDWARDS means literally "the son of Edward" and is of Anglo-Saxon origin. The original name was spelled EADWERD and was pronounced "E add verd". It meant "rich or prosperous guardian". The majority of EDWARDS' that immigrated to the United States, came from Wales. Edwards was part of the original 15 Tribes of Wales and have been found in Wales, England, and Scotland.

The EDWARDS branch originally migrated from Wales and settled in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.

NOTE: William Thomas Edwardes (husband of Agnes Blewet) line is traced through to its early sources in Wales, it descends on a direct line through generations of Welsh kings to Coel Hen, the last Dux Brittorium, or King of All Britian, b. ca 406 and stated to have been born at Denbigh, Wales. King Coel Hen was the lineage of the Holy Family of our Lord "Yahushua".

Agnes Blewitt, was a mistress of King Henry VIII while he was married to Katherine of Aragon and she was married to William Edwards. Agnes gave birth to a baby boy whom, it has been acknowledged, was not of her husband’s genes. The boy was named “Richard Edwardes,” and it is said he was favored by King Henry VIII who paid his support, his entry into the best schools, and also presented to Agnes a gift of property in Scotland where she would relocate with her children.

The Edwardes/Edwards family bloodline descends from "Tudor" so despite that King Henry VIII is referred to the true father of Richard Edwardes, the bloodline still connects. Proven through Edwards family DNA testing with several descendants of two early ancestors testing.

Rhirid Flaidd, Lord of Penllyn b. ca. 1150, and Goronwy AP Tdr (Tudor) b. ca. 1275,
