Event: Title 1 King Of England- From 1272-1307
Reference Number: 1/6-28
Note:
Called " Longshanks ", said to be over 6 feet tall, an accomplished warrior in battle. His Norman father showed foresight in choosing an old English name for his son who was to be the future King of England.
Edward I, king of England 1272 - 1307, son of Henry III, he fought for him in Baron`s War (1263 - 1267) . His efforts tried to extend English rule to all of Britain. His legal reforms (notably Statutes of Westminster) earned for him the name of the "English Justinian.". His Parliament (1295) had greater representation for barons, merchants and clergy whose resistance to war taxation forced him to confirm previous charters (e.g. Magna Carta). His promise to collect taxes only with consent of parliament became basis for " no taxation without representation."
Edward I, Born June 17, 1239, at Westminster; married Eleanor of Castile, who died November 20, 1290; and then married second time, Marguerite of France, Daughter of Philip III (she was young enough to be his granddaughter). Died July 8, 1307 in Leading His Army toward Scotland at Burgh-on-the-sands, Carlisle; buried at Westminster Cathedral. He was called "Longshanks" being so tall. Said to be "every inch a King, the finest of the Plantagenets", (also our last royal ancestor). Many historians ignore the second marriage entirely. Edward I had four sons by his first wife, all died young; the Edward, Prince of Wales became Edward II. John Richard Green's History says of him "There was a nobleness in Edward's nature, from which the baser influence of chivalry fell away. His life was pure; his piety, except when it stooped to the superstitions of age, sincere and manly. His high sense of duty saved him from the gross self indulgence of his success. "Churchhill says of him" When the traveler gazes upon the plain marble tomb in Westminister, on which is inscribed 'Here lies Edward I, the Hammerer of the Scots. Keep troth.', he stands before the resting place of a master builder of British life, character and fame."
(Note: This is the last item of Eva Hopkins Miller's (my Great Aunt) own research, taken from John Howard Green's " History of the English People". The book was a gift to Bert from Frank, just before he died. Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples, Vol. I and a school text book brought from England to Newfoundland by Frank's Grandfather in about1880, and John S. Wurt's " Magna Carta" were also used in the above research. These books contain all the data necessary to prove eligibility for membership in the Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede and similar patriotic- historic organizations. The Encyclopedia Brittanica and Webster's Biographical Dictionary were consulted for Dates books mentioned above belong to Frank Taylor and are priceless. From this point on the papers of May Howard Hopkins Hunt, Mary Hopkins Hunt Bell, and Anne Carter Baldwin Holle will be followed.)
Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), king of England (1272-1307), of the house of Plantagenet. He was born in Westminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III, and at 15 married Eleanor of Castile. In the struggles of the barons against the crown for constitutional and ecclesiastical reforms, Edward took a vacillating course. When warfare broke out between the crown and the nobility, Edward fought on the side of the king, winning the decisive battle of Evesham in 1265. Five years later he left England to join the Seventh Crusade. Following his father's death in 1272, and while he was still abroad, Edward was recognized as king by the English barons; in 1273, on his return to England, he was crowned.
The first years of Edward's reign were a period of the consolidation of his power. He suppressed corruption in the administration of justice, restricted the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts to church affairs, and eliminated the papacy's overlordship over England.
On the refusal of Llewelyn ab Gruffydd, ruler of Wales, to submit to the English crown, Edward began the military conflict that resulted, in 1284, in the annexation of Llewelyn's principality to the English crown. In 1290 Edward expelled all Jews from England. War between England and France broke out in 1293 as a result of the efforts of France to curb Edward's power in Gascony. Edward lost Gascony in 1293 and did not again come into possession of the duchy until 1303. About the same year in which he lost Gascony, the Welsh rose in rebellion.
Greater than either of these problems was the disaffection of the people of Scotland. In agreeing to arbitrate among the claimants to the Scottish throne, Edward, in 1291, had exacted as a prior condition the recognition by all concerned of his overlordship of Scotland. The Scots later repudiated him and made an alliance with France against England. To meet the critical situations in Wales and Scotland, Edward summoned a parliament, called the Model Parliament by historians because it was a representative body and in that respect was the forerunner of all future parliaments. Assured by Parliament of support at home, Edward took the field and suppressed the Welsh insurrection. In 1296, after invading and conquering Scotland, he declared himself king of that realm. In 1298 he again invaded Scotland to suppress the revolt led by Sir William Wallace. In winning the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, Edward achieved the greatest military triumph of his career, but he failed to crush Scottish opposition.
The conquest of Scotland became the ruling passion of his life. He was, however, compelled by the nobles, clergy, and commons to desist in his attempts to raise by arbitrary taxes the funds he needed for campaigns. In 1299 Edward made peace with France and married Margaret, sister of King Philip III of France. Thus freed of war, he again undertook the conquest of Scotland in 1303. Wallace was captured and executed in 1305. No sooner had Edward established his government in Scotland, however, than a new revolt broke out and culminated in the coronation of Robert Bruce as king of Scotland. In 1307 Edward set out for the third time to subdue the Scots, but he died en route near Carlisle on July 7, 1307.
