| 17. | King Edward I "Longshanks" England, King (3.Henry3, 2.Isabella2, 1.Aymer1) was born 10 Jun 1239, , Westminster, Middlesex, England; was christened 15 Jun 1239, , Westminster, Middlesex, England; died 29 Jun 1307, , Cumberland, Cumberland, England; was buried 20 Oct 1307, Westminster Abbe, Westminister, Middlesex, England.Notes:
Edward I was named for Edward the Confessor. He is known as the English
Justinian because of his fame as a lawgiver. A member of the royal family of
Anjou, or Plantagenet, he succeeded his father, Henry III, on 19 Aug 1272. He
started a war against the Welsh in 1277, and finally subdued them in 1283.
Wales then became part of the English realm.
Edward I devoted most of his reign to conquering Scotland. In 1290, of the
several men who claimed the Scottish throne, Edward chose John de Baliol. But
he insisted that Baliol pay homage to him. The Scottish people were humiliated
by this demand, and revolted. In 1296, Baliol joined the rebel forces, but
Edward forced him to surrender. Edward carried back to London the great Stone
of Scone, the coronation stone upon which Scottish kings had been crowned for
hundreds of years. Later in the year, the Scots, led by William Wallace, again
rebelled. Edward defeated them in 1298, but the Scots were not pacified.
After a long struggle, Robert Bruce was crowned King of Scotland in 1306.
Edward died on his way to subdue the new king.
Edward's Scottish policy delayed the union of the two kingdoms for 400 years.
He also did little to improve relations with France. But his need for money to
supply his army and government led him to call a parliament that would
represent the entire country. In 1295, the new parliament met. It consisted
of representatives of the nobility, the church, and the common people. This
system of representation set a model for later parliaments. Edward restricted
the power of the king by accepting the rule that taxes could be levied and laws
made only with the consent of parliament. He also sponsored laws aimed at
destroying the fuedal system, and at limiting the power of the church.
