Edward I[1] (17 June 1237 – 7 July 1307) nicknamed the Tall, the Brave, the Lord, the Hammer[2] and as well as Longshanks (meaning 'long legs') was the King of England from 1272 until his death in 1307. He was the son of King Henry III of England and Queen Eleanor of Provence. He was considered one of England's best kings because to his effective rule and as well as his braveness. As a young man, Edward fought against Simon de Montfort in defence of his father's crown. He went on a Crusade, and his father died as Edward was on his way back. As a ruler, he improved the laws and made Parliament regular, and more important. He conquered Wales, and subdued the Welsh by brutal policies. He was determined to control Scotland through puppet kings and just managed to do it during his lifetime. He expelled the Jewish people from England.
- ↑ Although he is often known as "Edward I", some historians call him "Edward IV" because prior to the Norman conquest, there were three kings with the name "Edward": Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr and Edward the Confessor. Because some historians refer to the first three King Edwards of England as "Edward I", "II" and "III", Edward who is often called Edward I is known as "Edward IV".
- ↑ Edward was nicknamed "the Hammer" because he was called "Hammer of the Scots" because of his interest in Scotland. However, the nickname was not used during his lifetime and Edward got the nickname after his death.
