Edward I (Penguin Monarchs)

by Andy King Book 25 in the Penguin Monarchs series.

2.5(5)

Andy King examines Edward I as a powerful medieval ruler who deliberately cultivated the image of a new King Arthur. The biography follows his crusading experience, legal and administrative reforms, use of Parliament and determination to assert royal authority across Britain.

Edward conquered Wales and fought a prolonged war in Scotland, achievements that created both a formidable reputation and enduring resistance. King weighs the king’s political skill and sense of duty against the coercion, taxation and warfare that made his rule increasingly severe.
