The Fur Act 1337 was passed during the reign of which king who took over after the death of Edward II?
Edward III
Edward III of England
Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was King of England from 25 January 1327 until his death; he is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father, Edward II.
 Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe.
 His long reign of 50 years was the second longest in medieval England and saw vital developments in legislation and government—in particular the evolution of the English parliament—as well as the ravages of the Black Death.

The Treaty of Paris was signed on 20 May 1303 between Philip IV of France and Edward I of England.
 Based on the terms of the treaty, Gascony was restored to England from France, thus setting the stage for the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453).
 Moreover, it was confirmed that Philip's daughter would marry Edward's son (the later Edward II of England), as already agreed in the Treaty of Montreuil (1299). Boulogne agreement
The Boulogne agreement was a document signed by a group of English magnates in 1308, concerning the government of Edward II.
 After the death of Edward I in 1307, discontent soon developed against the new king.
 This was partly due to lingering problems from the previous reign, but also related to issues with Edward II himself.
 Particularly his abandonment of the Scottish Wars and his patronage of the unpopular Piers Gaveston caused discontent.
 Drawn up in Boulogne-sur-Mer during the king's nuptials, the document vaguely asserted the signatories' duty to guard the rights of the Crown.
 Three months later, the agreement was the basis for another document, justifying opposition to the king.
 This latter document, the so-called Declaration of 1308, is notable for its use of the "doctrine of capacities": the distinction between the person of the King and the institution of the Crown. William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu
William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu ( 1285 – 18 October 1319) ("alias" de Montagu, de Montacute, Latinized to "de Monte Acuto" ("from the sharp mountain")), was an English peer, and an eminent soldier and courtier during the reigns of Edward I and Edward II.
 He played a significant role in the wars in Scotland and Wales, and was appointed steward of the household to Edward II.
 Perhaps as a result of the influence of his enemy, Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, Edward II sent him to Gascony as Seneschal in 1318.
 He died there in October of the following year. Cloth Act 1337

 K. Edward 1.
 or K. Edward 2.
 but uncertain when or in which of their times", are UK (previously English) statutes dating from the reigns of Henry III, Edward I or Edward II, and frequently listed in the statute books at the end of the reign of Edward II. William Sinclair (bishop)
William de Sancto Claro, or simply William Sinclair († 1337), was a 14th-century bishop of Dunkeld.
 He was the son of Amicia de Roskelyn and Sir William Sinclair, Baron of Roslin.
 He was the brother of Sir Henry Sinclair, baron of Roslin.
 After the death of Bishop Matthew de Crambeth in 1309, William was elected to the bishopric.
 The following year, on 24 February 1310, William was one of twelve Scottish bishops to swear fealty to King Robert the Brus.
 However, king Edward II of England had his own candidate in mind, John de Leck.
 William went to the Holy See, where his election was contested by the said John.
 The diocese of Dunkeld lay vacant for three years.
 Pope Clement V appointed Cardinal James, cardinal deacon of St George in Velabro, to judge the issue.
 However, the issue was more or less resolved when, on 22 May 1311, John de Leck was promoted to the Archbishopric of Dublin.
 When John de Leck took over the see of Dublin on 20 July, he retired from the dispute.
 The pope then declared William's election canonical, and sent him to Cardinal Berenger Fredoli, bishop of Tusculum, in order to be consecrated.
 On 3 February 1313 king Edward II issued a safe-conduct to William, clearly indicating that the bishop was planning to arrive in England on his way back to Scotland, however Edward demanded cooperation in political matters as a condition.
 William became a frequent witness to King Robert's charters, but that did not prevent Bishop William, on 24 September 1332, being present at the coronation of Edward Balliol.
 Bishop William attended the latter's parliaments.
 William died on 27 June 1337, and was buried in the choir of Dunkeld Cathedral. The Life of Edward II of England
The Life of Edward II of England (German: "Leben Eduards des Zweiten von England" ), also known as "Edward II", is an adaptation by the German modernist playwright Bertolt Brecht of the 16th-century historical tragedy by Marlowe, "The Troublesome Reign and Lamentable Death of Edward the Second, King of England, with the Tragical Fall of Proud Mortimer" (c.1592).
 The play is set in England between 1307 and 1326.
 A prefatory note to the play reads:
