When Edward was a few months old, his elder brother, Alfonso, died, and he became heir to the throne. From childhood, his father, a notable military leader, made a.

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England - Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England (AONB) is an area in England specially designated by the Countryside Agency. There are also AONBs in Wales and Northern Ireland The rough equivalent for Scotland is the National Scenic Area designated by Scottish Natural Heritage. With the advent of devolved government for Scotland, policy and management of these areas may well differ from the situation in England. AONBs are comparable to National parks. However, the latter have their own authorities, have special legal powers to prevent unsympathetic development, and are well known to many inhabitants of England and Wales. By contrast, many people living in an AONB do not even realise this. There are also very limited statutory duties on local authorities to do anything.
