But out of all those princes they had all died before the birth of the future Edward II. Alfonso died in August of 1284 and Edward was born in September 1284 meaning Edward was the heir to the throne at birth.
William, Edward II was born on 25th April 1284 at Caernarvon Castle in the country his father had just conquered (hence his designation, Edward of Caernarvon). His elder brother Alfonso was still living at this time (dying 4 months later) so Edward was an unintended heir at the time of his birth.
