Days Of Old When Knights Were Bold

Edward I is perhaps best known for his unsympathetic portrayal in films such as Braveheart, but did you know that he was also a tactical and forward thinking King? Edward I or Longshanks as he was later known for his height was an effective tactician following his success in the crusades by defeating Wales, strengthening its defences with a series of castles. Although he was ultimately overstretched by his efforts in fully conquering Scotland, he had for a time defeated the King and ruled the country as an English province. More progressive than his father, Longshanks reign saw parliament regularly meeting for the first time.
