Edward I
Edward I, 1272-1307, also known as Edward 'the Longshanks' for his distinguishable tallness and Edward 'Hammer of the Scots' as a result of his dealings with Scotland, was named after the legendary Anglo-Saxon King, Edward the Confessor, one of the last of the Anglo-Saxon Kings by his father Henry III. Edward is often regarded as one of England's finest medieval Kings, but has in recent years received heavy criticism from certain historians and from Hollywood in the epic film Braveheart. Edward's reign saw a host of internal reform, notably the abolition of coin clipping, extensive statutes, local county militia reform and also the advent and increased role of Parliament in English society. In relation to foreign policy, Edward oversaw the conquest of Wales, a military expedition which finally brought the last Welsh principalities to their knees, and interference in Scotland which ultimately failed under his son, Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn, 24th June 1314.
