Edward's second marriage, to Margaret of France, was a political match: young enough to be his daughter, she openly sided with his children against him. [Realm, No. 74, May/June, p. 64]

In 1299, as part of the peace process between England and France, Edward m.2 Margaret of France, half-sister of Philip IV. She has left only a slight imprint on history: it was hardly to be expected that the king would be much influenced by a queen some 40 years his junior. Edward is said to have been delighted with his new wife, succombing to a 'fevour of love' once the wedding took place, so that Margaret at once conceived a child. Margaret made a good impression when she visited St. Albans in 1299, with generous gifts of alms,
and a decision to join the fraternity of the monastery. She was extravagant: by 1302 it was necessary for the king to promise her 4000 pounds out of wardships and marriages, so that she might repay her debts. In 1305 her landed endowment was increased by 500 pounds, presumably because she was still in financial
difficulties. [Edward I, p. 129]

In the 14th century the castle was given to Edward I's wife, who held it from c.1300 to 1317. [Castles of Britain and Ireland, p. 126]

!Learned many lessons from the troubles of his father, and his reign was, for the development of the English constitution, the most important of any in the Middle Ages. He codified the law more systematically than it had ever been done before and made many new laws. He deprived the feudal lords of some of their most important privileges, including the right to hold private courts for their tenants, and made their military duties less important by requiring others as well to be fully equipped and ready to serve the king in battle. He reorganized the central administration of the government very thoroughly by making officers of his personal household or wardrobe, into government officials and placing members of the middle class, who would be loyal, in such positions. The government financial system was also improved and the courts were made more accessible to the people. The parliament he summoned in 1295 came to be known as the Model Parliament, because later ones were formed on the same plan. The charters of liberties which he confirmed in 1297 formed the basis for the later "no taxation without representation." [Outline History of Mankind]

!Undertook campaigns against the Welsh, whose princes were becoming too strong and getting out of hand. He conquered Wales in 1284. He took advantage of a disputed succession in Scotland to insist upon his claim as overlord of the country; but the people resisted his claim and set aside the king who had done homage to him. Edward, therefore, invaded and conquered Scotland. But the Scotch under William Wallace, and later under Robert Bruce, successfully rebelled and when Edward died in 1307, a haphazard war was still going on between the two countries. [Outline History of Mankind]

!Tunis, 19 Aug 1270 -- Edward joins his uncle, King Louis IX of France, on a crusade. [Chronicles of the Royal Family, p. 56]

Westminister, 19 Aug 1274 -- King Edward is crowned.
Westminster, Apr 1275 -- King Edward calls the first parliament of his reign.
Wales, 29 Aug 1277 -- Edward invades to force Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Gwynedd to pay homage, which he has persistently refused.
Deheubarth, Sep 1287 -- Rhys ap Maredudd of Drwslyn rebels against his rule.
France, 19 May 1294 -- Anglo-French relations break down after Margaret, the sister of Philip IV, spurns Edward's offer of marriage.
Newcastle, March 1296 -- Scots ally with France and invade England; John Balliol refuses to meet Edward.
Canterbury, 10 Sep 1299 -- Edward marries Margaret of France as part of a peace deal between the two countries.
Cumbria, 7 july 1307 -- Edward dies of dysentery en route for Scotland. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 62]

!Westminster, 18 Jul 1290 -- All Jews are to be expelled from England, according to a royal edict. Years of controversy about usury -- the Jews' practice of charging interest on money lent, which Christians cannot do under canon law -- will culminate in the expulsion of about 3000 people. In 1289 Edward banished Jews from his lands in Gascony. The king's move was highly popular. Knights sanctioned a new tax to boost royal coffers on condition that the Jews be expelled. In 1275 the first parliament of Edward's reign had banned usury and ordered Jews to live by trade and to wear yellow strips of cloth. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 64]

!Edward stood 6' tall and thus was called "Longshanks". Called Edward the Hammer in Scotland. Age turned his black hair white but did nothing to mellow the ferocity with which he enforced his authority. Although devoted to his first queen, Eleanor, he was a remote and even harsh father, for instance banishing his son's friend (lover) Piers Gaveston. His reign was one of remarkable achievements. He conquered the Welsh and subdued the Scots. He encouraged a series of legal and administrative reforms which transformed the criminal and civil law. He called more frequent and more representative parliaments. Abroad he was less successful, fighting a costly French war which leaves an uneasy peace in Europe as well as fresh truble in Scotland. One of Edward's greatest legacies is the network of massive fortresses which he erected throughout Wales. It was the greatest castle-building program ever seen in the principality, although the Welsh were not pleased with the new structures which were designed to ensure that independence, crushed with the death of Prince Llywelyn in 1282, never rears its head again. Castles were built at Flint, Rhuddlan, Aberystwyth and Builth, as well as Caernarfon, Ruthin, Caergwrle, Conwy, Beaumaris, and Harlech. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 67]

Said to be 7' tall from mailed feet to crested helmet. [Robert the Bruce, p. 14]

During his conquest of Wales he built castles at Anglesey, Beaumaris overlooking the Menai Straits, Conwy, Criccieth, and Harlech. [Realm, No. 49, pp. 50-54]

Edward I, the most powerful of the medieval kings of England, was obliged to devote the entire resources of his kingdom to the task of subjugating Wales. [A History of Wales, p. 153]

Edward seized Northern Ceredigion in 1277 and began work on a new castle at Aberystwyth. It was more ambitious in its design than anything previously seen in Wales, except at Caerffili, and was part of a chain of fortifications including the new castles of Flint, Rhuddlan and Builth. In 1279, Edward repossessed the lordships of Cardigan and Carmarthen which had been held by hisbrother Edmund since 1265. By 1280, Edward was firmly in control of his Welsh territories, which were far more extensive than those of any previous occupant of the throne of England. [A History, p. 157]

Edward, king of England, seeking to be absolved from his vow of pilgrimage to the Holy Land, was enjoined to build the Abbey of Westminster as atonement. [Leaders & Landmarks, Vol. II, p. 37]

Said to be father of John de Botetourte. [Ancestral Roots, p. 179]

Son of Henry III and Eleanor Berenger; m. Margaret of France and was father of:
1. Thomas who m. Alice Hayles and Mary
2. Edmund who m. Margaret
3. Eleanor
[WFT Vol 7 Ped 3931]

Leeds Castle was first built in stone by Norman barons nearly 900 years ago to overawe the English. On Edward I's accession, it was conveyed to the Crown, and for the next three centuries was a royal palace; fortified, enlarged, enriched and much loved by successive English Kings and Queens. Love, romance and happiness have been in the air at Leeds Castle down the centuries, certainly for Queen Eleanor of Castile. [Leeds Castle
Son and father of weak and ineffectual kings, Edward I had many fine qualities which seem to make nonsense of heredity. He was tall and strong, a fine horseman and a doughty warrior. A great leader of men, he was also able to lead to success. He was interested in government and law in a very genuine way. As a personality he was pious, but easily provoked to rage and ofent vindictive. He was fond of games--so passionately did he love his hawks that when they were ill he sent money to shrines to pray for their recovery. He was generaous to the poor, and often a gay companion: he played chess, and loved music and acrobats; one he bet his laundress Matilda that she couldn't ride his charger, and she won! Every Easter Monday he paid a ransom to his maids if they found him in bed. He loved his two wives, and fussed over their health and that of his children with a pathetic concern--sometimes threatening the doctor with what would happen to him if his patient did not recover. His people feared, respected and remembered him. [Who's Who in the Middles Ages, p. 71-74]

There was already a royal manor house at Linlithgow before the invasion of the English King Edward I at the end of the 1200s. Edward set about fortifying it with ditches and wooden palisades so that by the time of the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 he was using it as a base and garrison. Upon the defeat of the English at Bannockburn, it reverted to the Scots. [Scotland, the building of Linlithgow Palace
On 6 October 1280, enough of the Angel Choir at Lincoln Cathedral was complete to allow the ceremony of the translation, or resiting, of St Hugh's remains, witnessed by King Edward I and Queen Eleanor. [Lincoln Cathedral, p. 25]

Edward I and Queen Eleanor spent several weeks at Castle Acre Priory. [Castle Acre Castle and Priory, p. 44]

Jousts marked the triumphant conclusion of campaigns. Edward I was the first king to hold Round Table tournaments in the country, notably at Nefyn in 1285 after his victories over the Welsh. ["Jousting" by Sian Ellis, BRITISH HERITAGE, Aug/Sep 2001, pp. 32-37]

The coronation festivities of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile lasted for two weeks, during which some 380 cattle, 430 sheep, 450 pigs, 18 wild boar, 20,000 chickens and 278 flitches of bacon were consumed. The streets were hung with rich tapestries, the water conduits ran with wine, and coins were strewn among the onlooking crowds.
It was Kind Edward I who paid one Master Adam 60 shillings to build a wooden seat toi enclose the Stone of Scone, plus a further 13 shillings and 4 pence for carving and painting two leopards as decoration. ["Crowning Moments" by Elaine Brooksbank, REALM June 2002, p. 67]
