Edward II (2)

Edward II, King of England

British royalty, the eldest surviving son of Edward I and Leonor of Castile, who reigned from 7/08/1307 OS. He married Isabel of France, daughter of Philip le Bel, on 1/25/1307/08 when he was 16 and she, 12. They were crowned together on Shrove Sunday, 2/25/1307/08.
An incompetent ruler, Charles' failure to subdue the Scots in 1314 assured Scottish independence. Finally Parliament forced him to give up the throne 1/20/1326/27. It was his homosexual relationship with Piers Gaveston and his general refusal to do what was expected of him that resulted in a rebellion led by his wife, Isabella and he was forced to abdicate in favor of his 14-year-old son, Edward III.
Edward II was murdered horribly on the following September 21st;

On the birth and horoscope of Edward II, the reference book is Horoscopes and History by John North, the Warburg Institute, 1986. Unfortunately, this book being both exhausted and not found, I fell back on the Courting disaster ... by HM Carey, notably pp. 119-121, which practically allows, thanks to the tables of Appendix III (Horoscopes in Medieval English Manuscripts), p. 248, to fix the time of birth at 2:00 AM. In fact, we should not take into account the MS of the British Library (Brit Royal MS Royal 12 F.xvii, fol 153v) which gives a whimsical hour:
 The time of the day is given with considerably less precision. Edward II is said to be born, on April 25, 1282, before noon. In fact the time indicated by the horoscope is about 8.28 a.m. [Courting ... p. 122]

 Figura nativitatis Edwardi of Karnarvan anno Christi 1282 imperfecto, 25 th Aprilis in festo Sancti Marce evangelist, aureo numero currente per 12, littera dominicali a. Ista nativitas is coniunctionalis 2, and ante meridiem. [Courting ... p. 248]

Astro databank gives an hour which is inspired by the same medieval source: Martin Harvey, Nativitas I, quotations of the month of the month of Edward's birth with a chart having 15 Pisces on the MC and 18 Cancer on the ASC.

So, I'll be back with a birth hour of 8:30 in the morning...

almuten

speculum

As we see, MA is particularly unfortunate.

rays

The ray scheme shows that the MO rays are unfortunate, notably from ME.

parallels

Observe the misfortune of  #VE-MA, with -22.7 score. (recall, for scoring ray, I use this empiric formula :

IF(SIGNE(dec VE)-SIGNE(dec MA)=0;-4;4)*(IF(VE celest <0;0,5;1)*ABS(VE% almuten/10*VE celest)+IF(MA celest<0;0,5;1)*ABS(MA% almuten/10*MA celest))*(orb_ray+SI(orb #>0;-1;1)*orb #))

and we have : VE celest = 5 ; MA celest = -3 ; VE% almuten = -1.83 ; MA% almuten = -1.94 - orb = -0.29 - orb_ray = 5.)

for initial procedure. Here, it is adapted to parallel (it is no ray !).

hyleg - alchocoden

Some softwares give SU as hyleg but can not find alchocoden. There is truly no mistake because we have no ray between SU and ME. Eventually, the only hyleg that we can try is MA, the dominant nocturnal planet :

Observe that this time, there is a Placidus arc with the same longitude of SA.
