The acclaimed Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert
accounts of England's rulers - now in paperback Edward I
(1272-1307) is one of the most commanding of all English rulers. He
fought in southwest France, in Wales, In Scotland and in northern
France, he ruled with ruthlessness and confidence, undoing the
chaotic failure of his father, Henry III's reign. He reshaped
England's legal system and came close to bringing the whole island
of Great Britain under his rule. He promoted the idea of himself as
the new King Arthur, his Round Table still hanging in Winchester
Castle to this day. His greatest monuments are the extraordinary
castles - Caernarfon, Beaumaris, Harlech and Conwy - built to
ensure his rule of Wales and some of the largest of all medieval
buildings. Andy King's brilliant short biography brings to life a
strange, complex man whose triumphs raise all kinds of questions
about the nature of kingship - how could someone who established so
many key elements in England's unique legal and parliamentary
system also have been such a harsh, militarily brutal warrior?
