Exciting fresh perspectives on Edward I as man, king and
administrator. The reign of Edward I was one of the most important
of medieval England, but the king's activities and achievements
have not always received the full attention they deserve. The
essays collected here offer fresh insights into Edward's own
personality as well as developments in law, governance, war and
culture. Edward the man emerges in chapters on his early life, his
piety and his family, while the administrator king is discussed in
evaluations of his twogreat ministers, his handling of the crucial
issue of law and order and the way he managed the realm from abroad
through his correspondence. Edward's nobles, both in England and
Scotland, naturally appear as vital to understanding the reign,
while his rule is set in a British and European context. Overall,
the book aims to move the debate on the reign beyond K.B.
McFarlane's hugely influential judgement that "Edward I preferred
masterfulness to the arts of political management", by highlighting
his skills -- and failings -- as a politician and manager.
