A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain Kindle edition.

Just 99p

By Marc Norris

.

Only 99p

.

This is the first major biography for a generation of a truly formidable king. Edward I is familiar to millions as 'Longshanks', conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace ('Braveheart'). Edward was born to rule England, but believed that it was his right to rule all of Britain. His reign was one of the most dramatic of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and leaving a legacy of division that has lasted from his day to our own.

In his astonishingly action-packed life, Edward defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; travelled across Europe to the Holy Land on crusade; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructed - at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon - the most magnificent chain of castles ever created. After the death of his first wife he erected the Eleanor Crosses - the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch.

On This Day In Royal History . 16 November 1272 . Edward I accession . ◼ On 16 November 1272, the day that his father King Henry III died, Edward was fighting in the crusades. . ◼ It was not until 24 September the following year that Edward left Acre. Arriving in Sicily, he was met with the news that his father had died. Edward was deeply saddened by this news, but rather than hurrying home at once, he made a leisurely journey northwards. This was partly due to his health being poor, but also due to a lack of urgency. . ◼ The political situation in England was stable after the mid-century upheavals, & Edward was proclaimed king at his father’s death, rather than at his own coronation, as had until then been customary. . ◼ In Edward’s absence, the country was governed by a royal council, led by Robert Burnell. . ◼ The new king embarked on an overland journey through Italy & France, where among other things he visited the pope in Rome & suppressed a rebellion in Gascony. Only on 2 August 1274 did he return to England, & was crowned on 19 August. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1272 #Accession #EdwardI #EdwardIofEngland #historyfacts #KingEdwardI #KingofEngland #History #HouseofPlantagenet #Plantagenet #Plantagenets #EdwardLongshanks #EnglishMonarchy #otd #OnThisDay #Medieval #MedievalHistory #medievalart #medievaltimes #royalfamily #theking #BritishMonarchy #D16Nov https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqrNZADUaD/?igshid=1e44l86b8k3fc

On This Day In History . 7 July 1307 . King Edward I died . 👑 Edward I (born.17 June 1239) also known as Edward Longshanks & the Hammer of the Scots, was King of England from 1272 to 1307. . . ◾ In February 1307, On his way to fight the Scots, the 68 year old king developed dysentery, & his condition deteriorated. On 6 July he encamped at Burgh by Sands, just south of the Scottish border. When his servants came the next morning to lift him up so that he could eat, he died in their arms. . ◾ The new king, Edward II, remained in the north until August, but then abandoned the campaign & headed south. He was crowned king on 25 February 1308. . ▪ Edward I's body was brought south, laying in state at Waltham Abbey, before being buried in Westminster Abbey on 27 October. There are few records of the funeral, which cost £473. . ▪ Edward's tomb was an unusually plain sarcophagus of Purbeck marble, without the customary royal effigy, possibly the result of the shortage of royal funds after the King's death. The sarcophagus may normally have been covered over with rich cloth, & originally might have been surrounded by carved busts & a devotional religious image, all since lost. . ▪ The Society of Antiquaries opened the tomb in 1774, finding that the body had been well preserved over the preceding 467 years, & took the opportunity to determine the King's original height. Traces of the Latin inscription Edwardus Primus Scottorum Malleus hic est, 1308. Pactum Serva ("Here is Edward I, Hammer of the Scots, 1308. Keep the Vow"), which can still be seen painted on the side of the tomb, referring to his vow to avenge the rebellion of Robert Bruce. . ▪ This resulted in Edward being given the epithet the "Hammer of the Scots" by historians, but is not contemporary in origin, having been added by the Abbot John Feckenham in the 16th century. . . . #Onthisdayinhistory #thisdayinhistory #theyear1307 #EdwardI #KingEdwardI #EdwardIofEngland #HouseofPlantagenet #History #Plantagenets #EnglishMonarchy #Englabdtishmonarchy #d7jul #OnThisDay #historyfacts #RoyalHistory #Longshanks #KingofEngland #InstaHistory (at Burgh by Sands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BznCnuhgCVc/?igshid=a2ifiqo1dbzx
