Notes for EDWARD "LONGSHANKS" PLANTAGENET:
Edward was King Edward I of England, Acceded the throne on August 19, 1274 at Westminster Abbey, London, England. He reigned from 1272 to 1307. In the Baron's War, 1264-1267 he defeated the Barons at Evasham (1265), as King, he is noted for encouraging parlimentary institutions at the expense of feudalism and for subduing Wales on which he imposed the English system of administration. He later tried to assert authority over Scotland, He established England's Parliament: Ended papal dominance: Victor in Baron's War: Conquered Wales, and began conquest of Scotland. Edward was a strong sovereign: He stood up to Rome, declaring that the English Church was apart from the Roman Catholic Church. He checked an attempt by Rome to magnify spiritual authority by putting restraint on religious endowments. Nicknamed "Longshanks" he was considered the greatest of all Plantagenet monarchs. He was a father at 16 and a grandfather at 32 years old. He died while on his way to fight Robert Bruce on July 7,1307. Edward I, oldest surviving son of Henry III and Eleanor of Provence. He was nicknamed "Longshanks due to his great height and stature. He married Elinor of Castile who bore him 16 children, 7 of whom survived into adulthood. Before her death in 1290. Edward reached a peace settlement with Philip IV of France that resulted with his marriage to the French King's sister, Margaret, who bore him 3 more children. Edward I was a capable statesman, adding much to the institutions initiated by Henry II. In 1295 his :ModelParliment" brought together representitives from the nobility, clergy, knights of the shires and bugesses of the cities-the first gathering of Lords and Commons. Feudal revenues proved inadequate in financing the burgeoning royal courts and administrative institution; summoning national parliaments became the accepted forum of gaining revenue and conducting public business. Juditional reform included the expansion of such courts as theKing's Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer, and the Chancery Court was established to give redress in circumstances where other courts provided on solution. Edward was pious, but resisted any increase of papal authority in England. Conservators of the Peace, the forerunners of Justices of the Peace, were also established as an institution.
Foriegn policy, namely the unification of the island's other nations, occupied much of Edward's time. A major campaign to control Llwelyn ap Gruffydd of Wales began in 1277 and lasted until Llwelyn's death in 1282. In1301, the king's eldest son was created Prince of Wales, a title still held by all male heirs to the crown. Margaret, Maid of Norway and legitimate heir to the Scottish crown died in 1290, leaving a disputed succession in Scotland. Edward was asked to arbitrate between thirteen different claimants. John Baliot, Edward's first choice, was unpopular, and it was Robert Bruce who seized the Scottish throne in 1306, later to become a source of consternation to Edward II. Edward died en route to yet another Scottish campaign in 1307. His character found accurate evaluation by sir Richard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England; He had in him, the two wisdoms, not often found in any, single, both together, seldom or never, an ability of judgement in himself, and a readiness to hear the judgement of others. He was not easily provoked into passion, not easily appeased, as was seen by his dealing with the Scots towards whom he showed at first patience, and a severity. If he be censured for his many taxations, he may be justified by his well bestowing them; for never prince laid out his money to be more honour of himself, or good of his kingdom. He led a crusade to Palestine in 1270-1271, "Cronicles of the Crusades" he was christened June 21, 1239 in Westminster Abbey.
