Bernard Cornwell

I don't believe I read it 

Several years ago, my son bought me a book by Bernard Cornwell, the author of the Shapre series.
This book was set during the Hundred Years War, I was amazed to read in the prologue that Mr. Cornwell said that nobody knew why Edward, the eldest son Edward iii was known as the The Black Prince?
I assumed, obviously wrongly, it was common knowledge he was known as the Black Prince as he went to war in black armour.
