'''Edward I'''{{Efn|[[Regnal number]]s were not commonly used in Edward's time; he was referred to simply as "King Edward" or "King Edward, son of King Henry".<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=xv–xvi}}.</ref>}} (17/18 June 1239&nbsp;–&nbsp;7&nbsp;July&nbsp;1307), also known as '''Edward Longshanks''' and the '''Hammer of the Scots''' (Latin: Malleus Scotorum), was [[King of England]] from 1272 to 1307. Concurrently, he was [[Lord of Ireland]], and from 1254 to 1306 ruled [[Duchy of Gascony|Gascony]] as [[Duke of Aquitaine]] in his capacity as a [[vassal]] of the [[French king]]. Before his accession to the throne, he was commonly referred to as '''the Lord Edward'''. The eldest son of [[Henry III of England|Henry&nbsp;III]], Edward was involved from an early age in the political intrigues of his father's reign. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the [[Provisions of Oxford]]. After reconciling with his father, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the [[Second Barons' War]]. After the [[Battle of Lewes]], Edward was held [[hostage]] by the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and defeated the baronial leader [[Simon de Montfort]] at the [[Battle of Evesham]] in 1265. Within two years, the rebellion was extinguished and, with England pacified, Edward left to join the [[Ninth Crusade]] to the [[Holy Land]] in 1270. He was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed of his father's death. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and was [[coronation|crowned]] at [[Westminster Abbey]].

Edward spent much of his reign reforming royal administration and [[common law]]. Through an extensive legal inquiry, he investigated the tenure of several [[feudal]] liberties. The law was reformed through a series of [[statute]]s regulating [[Criminal law|criminal]] and [[property law]], but the King's attention was increasingly drawn towards military affairs. After suppressing a minor conflict in Wales in 1276–77, Edward responded to a second one in 1282–83 by [[Conquest of Wales by Edward I|conquering Wales]]. He then established English rule, built castles and towns in the countryside and [[Settler colonialism|settled them]] with [[English people]]. After the death of [[Margaret, Maid of Norway|the heir]] to the [[Kingdom of Scotland|Scottish]] throne, Edward was invited to arbitrate [[Competitors for the Crown of Scotland|a succession dispute]]. He claimed feudal [[suzerainty]] over Scotland and invaded the country, and the ensuing [[First Scottish War of Independence]] continued after his death.  Simultaneously, Edward found himself [[Gascon War|at war with France]] (a [[Auld Alliance|Scottish ally]]) after [[Philip IV of France|King Philip{{nbsp}}IV]] confiscated the Duchy of Gascony. The duchy was eventually recovered but the conflict relieved English military pressure against Scotland. By the mid-1290s, extensive military campaigns required high levels of taxation and this met with both [[Laity|lay]] and ecclesiastical opposition in England. In Ireland, he had extracted soldiers, supplies and money, leaving decay, lawlessness and a revival of the fortunes of his enemies in [[Gaelic Ireland|Gaelic territories]]. When the King died in 1307, he left to his son [[Edward II of England|Edward{{nbsp}}II]] a war with Scotland and other financial and political burdens.

Edward's temperamental nature and height ({{Cvt|6|ft|2|in|cm|disp=comma}}) made him an intimidating figure. He often instilled fear in his contemporaries, although he held the respect of his subjects for the way he embodied the medieval ideal of kingship as a soldier, an administrator, and a man of faith. Modern historians are divided in their assessment of Edward; some have praised him for his contribution to the law and administration, but others have criticised his uncompromising attitude towards his nobility. Edward is credited with many accomplishments, including restoring royal authority after the reign of Henry&nbsp;III and establishing [[Parliament of England|Parliament]] as a permanent institution, which allowed for a functional system for raising taxes and reforming the law through statutes. At the same time, he is often condemned for vindictiveness, opportunism and untrustworthiness in his dealings with Wales and Scotland, coupled with a colonialist approach to their governance and to Ireland, and for antisemitic policies leading to the 1290 [[Edict of Expulsion]], which expelled all Jews from England.

==Early years, 1239–1263==

===Childhood and marriage===

The man's left eye is drawn differently both from his right and those of the woman.|Early 14th-century manuscript [[initial]] showing Edward and his first wife [[Eleanor of Castile]]. The artist has perhaps tried to depict Edward's [[blepharoptosis]] (drooping eyelid), a trait he inherited from his father.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=22}}.</ref>]]

Edward was born at the [[Palace of Westminster]] on the night of 17–18 June 1239, to King [[Henry III of England|Henry&nbsp;III]] and [[Eleanor of Provence]].<ref name="Morris2009P2">{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=2}}, {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=51}}.</ref> [[Edward]], an [[Anglo-Saxon name]], was not commonly given among the aristocracy of England after the [[Norman Conquest]], but Henry was devoted to the veneration of [[Edward the Confessor]] and decided to name his firstborn son after the [[saint]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Carpenter|2007}}; {{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=3–4}}.</ref> Edward's birth was widely celebrated at the royal court and throughout England, and he was [[baptised]] three days later at [[Westminster Abbey]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=51}}, {{Harvnb|Jenks|1902|p=74}}.</ref> He was commonly referred to as the Lord Edward until his accession to the throne in 1272.{{Sfnm|1a1=Burt|1y=2013|1p=75}} Among his childhood friends was his cousin [[Henry of Almain]], son of King Henry's brother [[Richard of Cornwall]].<ref name="Prestwich 1997 6">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=6}}.</ref> Henry of Almain remained a close companion of the prince for the rest of his life.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=27, 46, 69}}.</ref> Edward was placed in the care of Hugh Giffard&nbsp;– father of the future [[Chancellor of the Exchequer|Chancellor]] [[Godfrey Giffard]]&nbsp;– until Bartholomew Pecche took over at Giffard's death in 1246.<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=51}}, {{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=5–6}}.</ref> The details of Edward's upbringing are unknown,<ref name= Chancellor27>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=27}}.</ref> but he received an education typical of an aristocratic boy his age, including in military studies.{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=51}}

There were concerns about Edward's health as a child, and he fell ill in 1246, 1247, and 1251.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 6"/> Nonetheless, he grew up to become a strong, athletic, and imposing man.{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=51}} At {{Cvt|6|ft|2|in|cm}} he towered over most of his contemporaries,<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=58}}, {{Harvnb|Carpenter|2004|p=467}}.</ref> hence his [[epithet]] "Longshanks", meaning "long legs" or "long shins". The historian [[Michael Prestwich]] states that his "long arms gave him an advantage as a swordsman, long thighs one as a horseman. In youth, his curly hair was blond; in maturity it darkened, and in old age it turned white. The regularity of his features was marred by a [[Ptosis (eyelid)|drooping left eyelid]] ... His speech, despite a lisp, was said to be persuasive."<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2008}}; {{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=92}}.</ref>

In 1254, English fears of a [[Kingdom of Castile|Castilian]] invasion of the English-held province of [[Duchy of Gascony|Gascony]] induced King Henry to arrange a politically expedient marriage between fifteen-year-old Edward and thirteen-year-old [[Eleanor of Castile|Eleanor]], the half-sister of King [[Alfonso X of Castile]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=14–18}}; {{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=202}}.</ref> They were married on 1&nbsp;November 1254 in the [[Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas]] in Castile.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=20}}.</ref> As part of the marriage agreement, Alfonso X gave up his claims to Gascony, and Edward received grants of land worth 15,000&nbsp;[[Mark (money)|marks]] a year.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=10}}; {{Harvnb|Salzman|1968|p=17}}; {{Harvnb|Jenks|1902|p=91}}.</ref>{{Efn|A medieval English mark was an [[Unit of account|accounting unit]] equivalent to two-thirds of a [[pound sterling]].{{Sfn|Harding|2002|p=xiv}}}} The marriage eventually led to the English acquisition of [[Ponthieu]] in 1279 upon Eleanor's inheritance of the county.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=316}}.</ref> Henry made sizeable endowments to Edward in 1254, including Gascony;{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=51}} most of Ireland, which was granted to Edward, while making the claim for the first time that dominion of Ireland would never be separated from the English crown;<ref>{{Harvnb|Carpenter|2004|p=362}}, {{harvnb|Davies|1990|p=84}}</ref> and much land in Wales and England,<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|pp=34–35}}.</ref> including the [[Earldom of Chester]]. They offered Edward little independence, for Henry retained much control over the land, particularly in Ireland, and benefited from most of the income from those lands.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=11–14}}.</ref> Split control caused problems. Between 1254 and 1272, eleven different [[Justiciar]]s were appointed to head the Irish government, encouraging further conflict and instability; corruption rose to very high levels.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|pp=180–181, 193–194}} In Gascony, [[Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester]], had been appointed as royal lieutenant in 1253 and drew its income, so Edward derived neither authority nor revenue from this province.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=7–8}}.</ref> Around the end of November 1254, Edward and Eleanor left Castile and entered Gascony, where they were warmly received by the populace. Here, Edward styled himself as "ruling Gascony as prince and lord", a move that the historian J. S. Hamilton states was a show of his blooming political independence.{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=52}}

From 1254 to 1257, Edward was under the influence of his mother's relatives, known as the [[House of Savoy|Savoyards]],<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=52}}, {{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005 |p=96}}.</ref> the most notable of whom was [[Peter II of Savoy]], the Queen's uncle.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=7}}.</ref> After 1257, Edward became increasingly close to the [[Lusignan]] faction&nbsp;– the half-brothers of his father Henry&nbsp;III&nbsp;– led by such men as [[William de Valence]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=22–23}}.</ref>{{Efn|Henry&nbsp;III's mother [[Isabella of Angoulême]] married [[Hugh X of Lusignan]] after the death of King [[John of England]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=21}}.</ref>}} The two groups of privileged foreigners were resented by the established English aristocracy, who would be at the centre of the ensuing years' baronial reform movement.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=95}}.</ref> Edward's ties to his Lusignan kinsmen were viewed unfavourably by contemporaries,{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=51}} including the [[Historians in England during the Middle Ages|chronicler]] [[Matthew Paris]], who circulated tales of unruly and violent conduct by Edward's inner circle, raising questions about his personal qualities.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=23}}.</ref>

===Early ambitions===
Edward showed independence in political matters as early as 1255, when he sided with the Soler family in Gascony in their conflict with the Colomb family.{{sfn|Hamilton|2010|p=52}} This ran contrary to his father's policy of mediation between the local factions.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=15–16}}.</ref> In May 1258, a group of [[magnate]]s drew up a document for reform of the King's government{{Snd}}the so-called [[Provisions of Oxford]]{{Snd}}largely directed against the Lusignans. Edward stood by his political allies and strongly opposed the Provisions.<ref name="Prestwich2526">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=25–26}}.</ref> The reform movement succeeded in limiting the Lusignan influence, and Edward's attitude gradually changed.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=26-29}}.</ref> In March 1259, he entered into a formal alliance with one of the main reformers, [[Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester]], and on 15&nbsp;October announced that he supported the barons' goals and their leader, the Earl of Leicester.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=27-29}}, {{Harvnb|Carpenter|1985|pp=226, 233–234}}.</ref>

The motive behind Edward's change of heart could have been purely pragmatic: the Earl of Leicester was in a good position to support his cause in Gascony.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=31–32}}.</ref> When the King left for France in November, Edward's behaviour turned into pure insubordination. He made several appointments to advance the cause of the reformers, and his father believed that Edward was considering a coup d'état.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=32–33}}.</ref> When Henry returned from France, he initially refused to see his son, but through the mediation of Richard of Cornwall and [[Boniface, Archbishop of Canterbury]], the two were eventually reconciled.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=44–45}}.</ref> Edward was sent abroad to France, and in November 1260 he again united with the Lusignans, who had been exiled there.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=48}}; {{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=34}}.</ref>

Back in England, early in 1262, Edward fell out with some of his former Lusignan allies over financial matters. The next year, King Henry sent him on a campaign in Wales against the Welsh prince [[Llywelyn ap Gruffudd]], but Edward's forces were besieged in northern Wales and achieved only limited results.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=171–172}}; {{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=54}}.</ref> Around the same time, Leicester, who had been out of the country since 1261, returned to England and reignited the baronial reform movement.<ref>{{Harvnb|Maddicott|1994|p=225}}.</ref> As the King seemed ready to give in to the barons' demands, Edward began to take control of the situation. From his previously unpredictable and equivocating attitude, he changed to one of firm devotion to protection of his father's royal rights.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=178}}.</ref> He reunited with some of the men he had alienated the year before&nbsp;– including Henry of Almain and [[John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey]]&nbsp;– and retook [[Windsor Castle]] from the rebels.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=41}}.</ref> Through the arbitration of King [[Louis&nbsp;IX of France]] an agreement was made between the two parties. This [[Mise of Amiens]] was largely favourable to the royalist side and would cause further conflict.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=113}}.</ref>

==Civil war and crusades, 1264–1273==

===Second Barons' War===
{{Main|Second Barons' War}}

From 1264 to 1267 the [[Second Barons' War]] was fought between baronial forces led by the [[Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester|Earl of Leicester]] and those who remained loyal to the King. Edward initiated the fighting by capturing the rebel-held city of [[Gloucester]]. When [[Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby]], came to the assistance of the baronial forces, Edward negotiated a truce with the Earl. Edward later broke the terms of the agreement.<ref name= Hamilton53>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=53}}.</ref> He then captured [[Northampton]] from [[Simon de Montfort the Younger]] before embarking on a retaliatory campaign against Derby's lands.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=42–43}}.</ref> The baronial and royalist forces met at the [[Battle of Lewes]], on 14&nbsp;May 1264. Edward, commanding the right wing, performed well, and soon defeated the London contingent of the Earl of Leicester's forces. Unwisely, he pursued the scattered enemy, and on his return found the rest of the royal army defeated.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sadler|2008|pp=55–69}}.</ref> By the [[Mise of Lewes]], Edward and his cousin Henry of Almain were given up as [[hostage]]s to Leicester.<ref>{{Harvnb|Maddicott|1983|pp=592–599}}.</ref>

The right section seemingly depicts a pile of dead bodies in armour.|Medieval manuscript showing the [[Simon de Montfort|Earl of Leicester]]'s mutilated body at the field of [[battle of Evesham|Evesham]]]]
Edward remained in captivity until March 1265, and after his release was kept under strict surveillance.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=47–48}}; {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=53}}.</ref> In [[Hereford]], he escaped on 28&nbsp;May while out riding and joined up with [[Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester]], who had recently defected to the King's side.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=48–49}}.</ref> The Earl of Leicester's support was now dwindling, and Edward retook [[Worcester, England|Worcester]] and Gloucester with little effort.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=49–50}}.</ref> Meanwhile, Leicester had made an alliance with Llywelyn and started moving east to join forces with his son [[Simon de Montfort the Younger|Simon]]. Edward made a surprise attack at [[Kenilworth Castle]], where the younger Montfort was quartered, before moving on to cut off the Earl of Leicester.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=201–202}}.</ref> The two forces then met at the [[Battle of Evesham]], on 4&nbsp;August 1265.<ref>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=63}}.</ref> The Earl of Leicester stood little chance against the superior royal forces, and after his defeat he was killed and his corpse mutilated on the field.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sadler|2008|pp=105–109}}.</ref>

Through such episodes as the deception of Derby at Gloucester, Edward acquired a reputation as untrustworthy. During the summer campaign he began to learn from his mistakes and gained the respect and admiration of contemporaries through actions such as showing clemency towards his enemies.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=75–76}}.</ref> The war did not end with the Earl of Leicester's death, and Edward participated in the continued campaigning. At Christmas, he came to terms with Simon the Younger and his associates at the [[Isle of Axholme]] in Lincolnshire, and in March 1266 he led a successful assault on the [[Cinque Ports]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=55}}.</ref> A contingent of rebels held out in the virtually impregnable Kenilworth Castle and did not surrender until the drafting of the conciliatory [[Dictum of Kenilworth]] in October 1266.<ref name=Prestwich2007P117/>{{Efn|The Dictum restored land to the disinherited rebels, in exchange for a fine decided by their level of involvement in the wars.<ref name="Prestwich2007P117">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=117}}.</ref>}} In April it seemed as if the Earl of Gloucester would take up the cause of the reform movement, and civil war would resume, but after a renegotiation of the terms of the Dictum of Kenilworth, the parties came to an agreement.<ref name=Prestwich2007P121/>{{Efn|The essential concession was that the disinherited would now be allowed to take possession of their lands ''before'' paying the fines.<ref name="Prestwich2007P121">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=121}}.</ref>}} Around this time, Edward was made [[Steward (office)|steward]] of England and began to exercise influence in the government.<ref>{{Harvnb|Jobson|2012|pp=164–165}}.</ref> He was also appointed [[Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports]] in 1265.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=76}}</ref> Despite this, he was little involved in the settlement negotiations following the wars as he was planning his forthcoming [[crusade]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=63}}.</ref>

Edward pledged himself to undertake a crusade in an elaborate ceremony on 24&nbsp;June 1268, with his brother [[Edmund Crouchback]] and cousin Henry of Almain. Some of Edward's former adversaries, such as [[John de Vescy]] and the 7th Earl of Gloucester, similarly committed themselves, although some, like Gloucester, did not ultimately participate.<ref>{{Harvnb|Lloyd|1986}}; {{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=83, 90–92}}.</ref> With the country pacified, the greatest impediment to the project was funding.<ref name="P71">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=71}}.</ref> King Louis&nbsp;IX of France, who was the leader of the crusade, provided a loan of about £17,500.<ref name="P72">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=72}}.</ref>{{efn|The price of 50,000 cows, or 23,000 horses.<ref>{{harvnb|National Archives|2024}}</ref>}} This was not enough, and the rest had to be raised through a direct tax on the [[laity]], which had not been levied since 1237.<ref name="P72"/> In May 1270, Parliament granted a tax of one-twentieth of all movable property; in exchange the King agreed to reconfirm [[Magna Carta]], and to impose restrictions on Jewish money lending.<ref>{{Harvnb|Maddicott|1989|pp=107–110}}.</ref>{{Efn|The May 1270 Parliament confirmed an ordinance drafted at the Hilary Parliament of January 1269 preventing Jewish moneylenders from creating rent charges on debtors' lands, which often led debtors to lose the land itself.<ref>{{Harvnb|Maddicott|2010|pp=268–269}}.</ref> }} On 20&nbsp;August Edward sailed from [[Dover]] for France.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=92}}.</ref> Historians have not determined the size of his accompanying force with any certainty, but it was probably fewer than 1000&nbsp;men, including around 225&nbsp;[[knight]]s.<ref name="P71"/>

Originally, the Crusaders intended to relieve the beleaguered Christian stronghold of [[Acre (Israel)|Acre]] in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], but King Louis and his brother [[Charles of Anjou]], the [[king of Sicily]], decided to attack the emirate of [[Tunis]] to establish a stronghold in North Africa.<ref name="P73">{{Harvnb|Riley-Smith|2005|p=210}}.</ref> The plan failed when the French forces were struck by an epidemic which, on 25&nbsp;August, killed Louis.{{Efn|The disease was either [[dysentery]] or [[typhus]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Riley-Smith|2005|pp=210–211}}.</ref>}} By the time Edward arrived at Tunis, Charles had already signed the [[Treaty of Tunis]] with the Emir, and there was little to do but return to Sicily.<ref name= Hamilton55>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=55}}.</ref> Further military action was postponed until the following spring, but a devastating storm off the coast of Sicily dissuaded both Charles and [[Philip III of France|Philip III]], Louis's successor, from any further campaigning.<ref>{{Harvnb|Riley-Smith|2005|p=211}}.</ref> Edward decided to continue alone, and on 9&nbsp;May 1271&nbsp;he landed at Acre.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=75}}.</ref>

The Christian situation in the [[Holy Land]] was precarious. [[Jerusalem]] had been reconquered by the Muslims in 1244, and Acre was now the centre of the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=95}}.</ref> The Muslim states were on the offensive under the [[Mamluk]] leadership of [[Baibars]], and were threatening Acre. Edward's men were an important addition to the garrison, but they stood little chance against Baibars's superior forces, and an initial raid at nearby St Georges-de-Lebeyne in June was largely futile.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=76}}.</ref> An embassy to [[Abaqa]], the [[Ilkhan]] of the [[Mongols]], helped bring about [[Mongol invasions of Syria|an attack]] on [[Aleppo]] in the north, which distracted Baibars's forces.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=97–98}}.</ref> The Mongol invasion ultimately failed. In November, Edward led a raid on [[Qaqun]], which could have served as a bridgehead to Jerusalem, but this was unsuccessful.

Llywelyn ap Gruffudd enjoyed a temporary advantage after the Barons' War.

War broke out again in 1282. The Welsh saw the war as being over national identity and the right to traditional Welsh law.

Edward never again went on crusade after his return to England in 1274, but he maintained an intention to do so, and in 1287 took a vow to go on another crusade.<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=55}}, {{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=326–328}}.</ref> This intention guided much of his foreign policy, until at least 1291. To stage a European-wide crusade, it was essential to prevent conflict between the sovereigns on [[Continental Europe]].<ref name="Prestwich 1997 333">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=333}}.</ref> A major obstacle to this was the conflict between the French [[Capetian House of Anjou]] ruling southern Italy and the Crown of Aragon in Spain.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 333"/> In 1282, the citizens of Palermo rose up against Charles of Anjou and turned for help to [[Peter III of Aragon]], in what has become known as the [[Sicilian Vespers]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Runciman|1958|pp=128–149, 236–237}}</ref> In [[War of the Sicilian Vespers|the war]] that followed, Charles of Anjou's son, [[Charles of Salerno]], was taken prisoner by the Aragonese.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=252–253}}.</ref> The French began planning an attack on Aragon, raising the prospect of a large-scale European war. To Edward, it was imperative that such a war be avoided, and in Paris in 1286 he brokered a truce between France and Aragon that helped secure Charles's release.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=323–325}}; {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=72}}.</ref> As far as the crusades were concerned, Edward's efforts proved ineffective.

Edward had long been deeply involved in the affairs of his own Duchy of Gascony.<ref name= Hamilton73>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=73}}.</ref> In 1278 he assigned an investigating commission to his trusted associates [[Otto de Grandson]] and the [[Lord Chancellor|chancellor]] Robert Burnell, which caused the replacement of the [[seneschal]] Luke de Tany.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=304}}.</ref> In 1286, Edward visited the region and stayed for almost three years.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=204–217}}.</ref> On Easter Sunday 1287, Edward was standing in a tower when the floor collapsed.

The perennial problem was the status of Gascony within the Kingdom of France, and Edward's role as the French king's vassal. On his diplomatic mission in 1286, Edward had paid homage to the new king, [[Philip IV of France|Philip{{nbsp}}IV]]. Following an outbreak of piracy and informal war between English, Gascon, Norman, and French sailors in 1293, his brother Edmund Crouchback allowed Philip IV to occupy Gascony's chief fortresses as a show of good faith that Edward had not intended the seizure of several French ships or the sacking of the French port of [[La Rochelle]]. Philip refused to release the fortresses, and declared Gascony forfeit when Edward refused to appear before him again in Paris.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=265–270}}.</ref>

Correspondence between Edward and the [[Ilkhanate|Mongol court of the east]] continued during this time.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 330">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=330}}.</ref> Diplomatic channels between the two had begun during Edward's time on crusade, regarding a possible alliance to retake the Holy Land for Europe. Edward received Mongol envoys at his court in Gascony while there in 1287, and one of their leaders, [[Rabban Bar Sauma]], recorded an extant account of the interaction.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 330"/> Other embassies arrived in Europe in 1289 and 1290, the former relaying Ilkhan Abaqa's offer to join forces with the crusaders and supply them with horses.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 330331">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=330–331}}.</ref> Edward responded favourably, declaring his intent to travel to the east once he obtained papal approval.

Eleanor of Castile died on 28&nbsp;November 1290.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=229}}.</ref> The couple loved each other, and like his father, Edward was very devoted to his wife and was faithful to her throughout their marriage.<ref name= Hamilton62>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=62}}.</ref> He was deeply affected by her death,<ref name=Chancellor203204>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|pp=203–204}}.</ref> and displayed his grief by ordering the construction of twelve so-called [[Eleanor cross]]es,<ref>{{Harvnb|Raban|2000|p=40}}.</ref> one at each place where her funeral cortège stopped for the night.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=230–231}}.</ref> 

In 1294 a war at sea flared up between English and Norman privateers. Philip the Fair exploited the conflict to confiscate Gascony, provoking Edward to renounce his homage and declare war.{{sfn|Vale|1990|pp=392-94}} After the initial fighting in Gascony, both kings sought to widen the conflict by forging expensive alliances. Edward joined forces with [[Adolf, King of the Romans|Adolf of Nassau]] (the King of Germany),{{sfn|Pilling|2021|p=80}} the [[Count of Flanders]] and the barons of [[Franche-Comté]] in eastern [[Burgundy]]. Other members of the alliance included two of his sons-in-law, the [[Duke of Brabant]] and the Count of [[Bar-le-Duc]].{{sfn|Prestwich|1972|pp=172-73}} Edward's strategy was to attack the French on all fronts and stretch their forces to their breaking point.{{sfn|Pilling|2021|p=80}} Most of his allies did indeed go into action and caused considerable damage in [[Champagne (province)|Champagne]], Burgundy, Gascony and the [[Toulouse|Toulousaine]].{{sfn|Pilling|2021|p=98}} However, the King of Germany failed to join Edward in Flanders,{{sfn|Pilling|2021|pp=98, 104}} obliging the allies to seek a truce in October 1297.{{sfn|Pilling|2021|pp=96, 99}} Edward renewed his military contract with the Burgundians in March 1298, prolonging the war in Franche-Comté. This may have been an effort to distract Philip and prevent him from aiding the Scots.{{sfn|Pilling|2021|pp=102-103}} The war was effectively frozen by the [[Treaty of Montreuil (1299)|Treaties of Montreuil in 1299]], whereby Edward agreed to marry Philip's sister Margaret. As part of her dowry Philip returned the county of Ponthieu, which had been seized along with Gascony in 1294. This restored Edward's position as a vassal of the French king, although Gascony was not formally returned until the 1303 Treaty of Paris.<ref>{{harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=416}}, {{harvnb|Chaplais|1982|pp=148-49}}</ref>

Edward had a reputation for a fierce and sometimes unpredictable temper,<ref name= Hamilton61>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=61}}.</ref> and he could be intimidating; one story tells how the [[Dean of St Paul's]], wishing to confront Edward over high taxation in 1295, fell down and died once he was in the King's presence,<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=177}}.</ref> and one 14th-century chronicler attributed the death of [[Thomas of Corbridge|Archbishop Thomas of York]] to the King's harsh conduct towards him.<ref name= Hamilton60>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=60}}.</ref> When Edward of Caernarfon demanded an earldom for his favourite [[Piers Gaveston]], the King erupted in anger and supposedly tore out handfuls of his son's hair.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=552}}.</ref> Some of his contemporaries considered Edward frightening, particularly in his early days. The ''[[Song of Lewes]]'' in 1264 described him as a leopard, an animal regarded as particularly powerful and unpredictable.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=24}}.</ref> At times, Edward exhibited a gentler disposition, and was known to be devoted to his large family. He was close to his daughters, and gave them expensive gifts when they visited court.<ref name= Hamilton62/>

Despite his harsh disposition, Edward's English contemporaries considered him an able, even an ideal, king.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=559}}.</ref> Though not loved by his subjects, he was feared and respected, as reflected in the lack of armed rebellions in England during his reign.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2003|pp=37–38, 565}}.</ref> Edward is often noted as exhibiting vindictiveness towards his defeated enemies, and triumphalism in his actions.<ref>{{harvnb|Frame|1990|pp=142-143}}</ref> Historian [[Rees Davies|R.&nbsp;R.&nbsp;Davies]] considered Edward's repeated and "gratuitous belittling of his opponents", to have been "one of the most consistent and unattractive features of his character as king".<ref>{{harvnb|Davies|2000|pp=346-347, 366, 383}}. Quotes at p. 347</ref> Examples include the seizure of fragments of the Holy Cross from Wales after its defeat in 1283, and subsequently the Stone of Scone and [[regalia]] from Scotland after defeats in 1296.<ref>{{harvnb|Davies|1990|p=|pp=125–126}}</ref> Some historians question Edward's good faith and trustworthiness in relation to his dealing with Wales and Scotland, believing him to have been capable of behaving duplicitously.<ref>{{harvnb|Barrow|1983|pp=394-395}}, {{harvnb|Davies|2000|pp=346-347}}</ref>

Historian Michael Prestwich believes Edward met contemporary expectations of kingship in his role as an able, determined soldier and in his embodiment of shared chivalric ideals.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2003|pp=33–34}}.</ref> In religious observance he fulfilled the expectations of his age: he attended chapel regularly, gave [[alms]] generously and showed a fervent [[devotion to the Virgin Mary]] and [[Saint Thomas Becket]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=112–113}}; {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=59}}.</ref> Like his father, Edward was a keen participant in the tradition of the [[royal touch]], which was believed to cure those who were touched from [[scrofula]]. Contemporary records suggest that the King touched upwards of a thousand people each year.<ref name= Hamilton60/> Despite his personal piety, Edward was frequently in conflict with the Archbishops of Canterbury who served during his reign. Relations with [[the Papacy]] were at times no better, Edward coming into conflict with Rome over the issue of ecclesiastical taxation.<ref name= Hamilton60/> Edward's use of the church extended to war mobilisation including disseminating justifications for war, usually through the issue of writs to England's archbishops, who distributed his requests for services and prayers.{{sfn|Bachrach|2004|p=396}} Edward's architectural programme similarly had an element of propaganda, sometimes combining this with religious messages of piety, as with the Eleanor Crosses.{{sfn|Stocker|1986|p=115}}

Edward took a keen interest in the [[Arthurian Cycle|stories of King Arthur]], which were popular in Europe during his reign.<ref>{{Harvnb|Raban|2000|p=140}}; {{Harvnb|Prestwich|2003|p=34}}.</ref> In 1278 he visited [[Glastonbury Abbey]] to open what was then believed to be the tomb of Arthur and [[Guinevere]], and gained "[[Llywelyn's coronet|Arthur's crown]]" from Llywelyn after the conquest of North Wales;<ref>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=113}}.</ref> his castle-building campaign in Wales drew upon the Arthurian myths in their design and location.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=192}}; {{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=120–121}}.</ref> He held "Round Table" events in 1284 and 1302, involving tournaments and feasting, and chroniclers compared him and the events at his court to Arthur.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=120–121}}; {{Harvnb|Loomis|1953|pp=125–127}}.</ref> In some cases Edward appears to have used the Arthurian myths to serve his own political interests, including legitimising his rule in Wales and discrediting the [[King Arthur's messianic return|Welsh belief that Arthur might return as their political saviour]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=164–166}}; {{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=121–122}}.</ref>

Soon after assuming the throne, Edward set about restoring order and re-establishing royal authority after the troubled reign of his father.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=116–117}}; {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|pp=65–66}}.</ref> To accomplish this, he immediately ordered an extensive change of administrative personnel. The most important of these was the designation of Robert Burnell as chancellor in 1274, a man who would remain in the post until 1292 as one of the King's closest associates.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=92}}.</ref> The same year as Burnell's appointment, Edward replaced most local officials, such as the [[escheat]]ors and [[High sheriff|sheriffs]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=93}}.</ref> This last measure was taken in preparation for an extensive inquest covering all of England, that would hear complaints about [[abuse of power]] by royal officers. The second purpose of the inquest was to establish what land and rights [[The Crown#Concept|the Crown]] had lost during the reign of Henry&nbsp;III.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|p=115}}.</ref>

The inquest produced a set of census documents called the [[Hundred Rolls]].<ref name= Jenks163164>{{Harvnb|Jenks|1902|pp=163–164}}.</ref> These have been likened to the 11th-century [[Domesday Book]],<ref>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|pp=130–131}}.</ref> and they formed the basis for the later legal inquiries called the ''[[Quo warranto]]'' proceedings.<ref>{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|pp=64–65}}.</ref> The purpose of these inquiries was to establish by what warrant ({{Langx|la|Quo warranto}}) [[Liberty (division)|liberties]] were held.<ref name=Sutherland1963PP146/>{{Efn|Among those singled out in particular by the royal justices was [[Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford]], who was seen to have encroached ruthlessly on royal rights over the preceding years.<ref name="Sutherland1963PP146">{{Harvnb|Sutherland|1963|pp=146–147}}.</ref>}} If the defendant could not produce a royal licence to prove the grant of the liberty, then it was the Crown's opinion{{Spaced en dash}}based on the writings of the influential 13th-century legal scholar [[Henry de Bracton]]{{Spaced en dash}}that the liberty should revert to the King. Both the [[Statute of Westminster 1275]] and [[Statute of Westminster 1285]] codified the existing law in England.<ref>{{Harvnb|Salzman|1968|pp=204–205}}.</ref> By enacting the [[Statute of Gloucester]] in 1278 the King challenged baronial rights through a revival of the system of general [[eyre (legal term)|eyres]] (royal justices to go on tour throughout the land) and through a significant increase in the number of pleas of quo warranto to be heard by such eyres.<ref>{{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|pp=138–139}}.</ref>

This caused great consternation among the aristocracy,<ref name=Carpenter2004469>{{Harvnb|Carpenter|2004|p=469}}.</ref> who insisted that long use in itself constituted [[licence]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Sutherland|1963|p=14}}.</ref> A compromise was eventually reached in 1290, whereby a liberty was considered legitimate as long as it could be shown to have been exercised since the coronation of [[Richard the Lionheart]] in 1189.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=378–379}}.</ref> Royal gains from the ''Quo warranto'' proceedings were insignificant as few liberties were returned to the King,<ref>{{Harvnb|Sutherland|1963|p=188}}.</ref> but he had nevertheless won a significant victory by establishing the principle that all liberties emanated from the Crown.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sutherland|1963|p=149}}.</ref>

The 1290 statute of ''Quo warranto'' was only one part of a wider legislative reform, which was one of the most important contributions of Edward's reign.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=267}}.</ref> This era of legislative action had started already at the time of the baronial reform movement; the [[Statute of Marlborough]] (1267) contained elements both of the Provisions of Oxford and the Dictum of Kenilworth.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brand|2003|p=362}}</ref> The compilation of the Hundred Rolls was followed shortly after by the issue of Westminster&nbsp;I (1275), which asserted the [[royal prerogative]] and outlined restrictions on liberties.<ref>{{Harvnb|Plucknett|1949|pp=29–30}}.</ref> The [[Statutes of Mortmain]] (1279) addressed the issue of land grants to the Church.<ref>{{Harvnb|Plucknett|1949|pp=94–98}}.</ref> The first clause of Westminster&nbsp;II (1285), known as ''[[De donis conditionalibus]]'', dealt with family settlement of land, and [[entail]]s.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=273}}.</ref> [[Statute merchant|The Statute of Merchants]] (1285) established firm rules for the recovery of debts,<ref>{{Harvnb|Plucknett|1949|pp=140–144}}.</ref> and the [[Statute of Winchester]] (1285) dealt with security and peacekeeping on a local level by bolstering the existing police system.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=280–281}}; {{Harvnb|Chancellor|1981|p=139}}.</ref> ''[[Quia emptores]]'' (1290){{Spaced en dash}}issued along with ''Quo warranto''{{Spaced en dash}}set out to remedy land ownership disputes resulting from alienation of land by [[subinfeudation]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Plucknett|1949|pp=45, 102–104}}.</ref> The age of the great statutes largely ended with the death of Robert Burnell in 1292.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=293}}.</ref>

Edward's reign saw an overhaul of the coinage system, which was in a poor state by 1279.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 247">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=247}}.</ref> Compared to the coinage already circulating at the time of Edward's accession, the new coins issued proved to be of superior quality. In addition to minting [[History of the English penny (1154–1485)|pennies]], [[History of the halfpenny|halfpences]] and [[Farthing (English coin)|farthings]], a new denomination called the [[Groat (coin)|groat]] (which proved to be unsuccessful) was introduced.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 246">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=246}}.</ref> The coinmaking process itself was also improved. The [[moneyer]] William Turnemire introduced a novel method of minting coins that involved cutting blank coins from a silver rod, in contrast with the old practice of stamping them out from sheets; this technique proved to be efficient.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 246"/> The practice of minting coins with the moneyer's name on them became obsolete under Edward's rule because England's mint administration became far more centralised under the Crown's authority. During this time, English coins were frequently counterfeited on the Continent, especially the [[Low Countries]], and despite a ban in 1283, English coinage was secretly exported to the European continent.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=246–247}}.</ref> In August 1280, Edward forbade the usage of the old [[Long cross penny|long cross coinage]], which forced the populace to switch to the newly minted versions.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 247"/> Records indicate that the coinage overhaul successfully provided England with a stable currency.<ref name="Prestwich 1997 248">{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=248}}.</ref>

Edward's frequent military campaigns put a great financial strain on the nation.<ref>{{Harvnb|Harriss|1975|p=49}}.</ref> There were several ways through which the King could raise money for war, including customs duties, loans and lay subsidies, which were taxes collected at a certain fraction of the moveable property of all laymen who held such assets. In 1275, Edward negotiated an agreement with the domestic merchant community that secured a permanent duty on wool, England's primary export.<ref>{{Harvnb|Carpenter|2004|pp=470–471}}.</ref> In 1303, a similar agreement was reached with foreign merchants, in return for certain rights and privileges.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brown|1989|pp=65–66}}.</ref> The revenues from the customs duty were handled by the [[House of Simonetti#Simonetti of Lucca|Riccardi]], a group of bankers from [[Lucca]] in Italy.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=99–100}}.</ref> This was in return for their service as moneylenders to the crown, which helped finance the Welsh Wars. When the war with France broke out, the French king confiscated the Riccardi's assets, and the bank went bankrupt.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brown|1989|pp=80–81}}.</ref> After this, the [[Frescobaldi]] of [[Florence]] took over the role as moneylenders to the English crown.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=403}}.</ref> Edward also sought to reduce pressure on his finances by helping his wife Eleanor to build an independent income.<ref>{{Harvnb|Parsons|1995|p=|pp=149-151}}</ref>

Edward held Parliament on a regular basis throughout his reign.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=342}}.</ref> In 1295, a significant change occurred. For this Parliament, as well as the secular and ecclesiastical lords, two knights from each county and two representatives from each borough were summoned.<ref name="Krieger1">{{Harvnb|Krieger|Neill|Jantzen|1992|p=251}}, {{Harvnb|Brown|1989|p=185}}.</ref> The representation of commons in Parliament was nothing new; what was new was the authority under which these representatives were summoned. Whereas previously the commons had been expected to assent to decisions made by the magnates, it was now proclaimed that they should meet with the full authority (''plena potestas'') of their communities, to give assent to decisions made in Parliament.<ref>{{Harvnb|Harriss|1975|pp=41–42}}.</ref> The King now had full backing for collecting lay subsidies from the entire population.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brown|1989|pp=70–71}}.</ref> Whereas Henry III had only collected four of these in his reign, Edward collected nine.<ref>{{Harvnb|Brown|1989|p=71}}.</ref> This format eventually became the standard for later Parliaments, and historians have named the assembly the "[[Model Parliament]]",<ref>{{Harvnb|Krieger|Neill|Jantzen|1992|p=252}}.</ref> a term first introduced by the English historian [[William Stubbs]].<ref name="Morris2009PP282">{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=283–284}}.</ref>

===Administration in Ireland===
{{Further|History of Ireland (1169–1536)#Lordship of Ireland (1171–1300)|Lordship of Ireland}}
[[File:Lordship of Ireland, 1300.png|thumb|Lordship of Ireland (pink) and Gaelic controlled areas (yellow), 1300]] Edward's primary interest in Ireland was as a source of resources, soldiers and funds for his wars, in Gascony, Wales, Scotland and Flanders. Royal interventions aimed to maximise economic extraction.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|p=181}} Corruption among Edward's officials was at a high level, and despite Edward's efforts after 1272 to reform the Irish administration, record keeping was poor.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|pp=193–194}} 

Disturbances in Ireland increased during the period. The weakness and lack of direction given to the Lordship's rule allowed factional fighting to grow, reinforced by the introduction of indentured military service by Irish magnates from around 1290.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|pp=185–186}} The funnelling of revenue to Edward's wars left Irish castles, bridges and roads in disrepair, and alongside the withdrawal of troops to be used against Wales and Scotland and elsewhere, helped induce lawless behaviour. Resistance to 'purveyances', or forced purchase of supplies such as grain, added to lawlessness, and caused speculation and inflation in the price of basic goods.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|pp=196–197, 202–203}} Pardons were granted to lawbreakers for service for the King in England.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|pp=202-203}} Revenues and removal of troops for Edward's wars left the country unable to address its basic needs, while the administration was wholly focused on providing for Edward's war demands;{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|p=201}} troops looted and fought with townspeople when on the move.{{sfn|Lydon|2008a|p=203}} [[Gaelic Ireland]] enjoyed a revival, due to the absence of English magnates and the weakness of the Lordship, assimilating some of the settlers.{{sfn|Lydon|2008b|pp=271, 273}} Edward's government was hostile to the use of [[Early Irish law|Gaelic law]], which it condemned in 1277 as "displeasing to God and to reason".{{sfn|Davies|1990|p=115}} Conflict was firmly entrenched by the time of the 1297 Irish Parliament, which attempted to create measures to counter disorder and the spread of Gaelic customs and law, while the results of the distress included many abandoned lands and villages.<ref>{{harvnb|Lydon|2008b|pp=272-273}}, {{harvnb|Lydon|2008a|p=203}}</ref>

==Later reign, 1297–1307==

===Constitutional crisis===
The incessant warfare of the 1290s put a great financial demand on Edward's subjects. Whereas the King had levied only three lay subsidies until 1294, four such taxes were granted in the years 1294–1297, raising over £200,000.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1972|p=179}}.</ref>{{efn|£141m at 2017 prices, or 20 million days' labour for a skilled tradesman.<ref>{{harvnb|National Archives|2024}}</ref>}} Along with this came the burden of [[prise]]s, seizure of wool and hides, and the unpopular additional duty on wool, dubbed the ''[[maltolt]]'' ("unjustly taken").<ref>{{Harvnb|Harriss|1975|p=57}}.</ref> The fiscal demands on the King's subjects caused resentment, which eventually led to serious political opposition. The initial resistance was caused not by the lay taxes, but by clerical subsidies. In 1294, Edward made a demand of a grant of one-half of all clerical revenues. There was some resistance, but the King responded by threatening opponents with [[outlaw]]ry, and the grant was eventually made.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=403–404}}.</ref> At the time, [[Robert Winchelsey]], the designated Archbishop of Canterbury, was in Italy to receive consecration.<ref name=Powicke1962P671/>{{Efn|Winchelsey's consecration was held up by the protracted [[1292–1294 papal election]].<ref name="Powicke1962P671">{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=671}}.</ref>}} Winchelsey returned in January 1295 and had to consent to another grant that November. In 1296, his position changed when he received the [[papal bull]] ''[[Clericis laicos]]''. This prohibited the clergy from paying taxes to lay authorities without explicit consent from the Pope.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=674}}.</ref> When the clergy, with reference to the bull, refused to pay, Edward responded with outlawry.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=675}}.</ref> Winchelsey was presented with a dilemma between loyalty to the King and upholding the papal bull, and he responded by leaving it to every individual clergyman to pay as he saw fit.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=417}}.</ref> By the end of the year, a solution was offered by the new papal bull ''[[Etsi de statu]]'', which allowed clerical taxation in cases of pressing urgency.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=430}}.</ref> This allowed Edward to collect considerable sums by taxing the English clergy.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=562}}.</ref>
{{Quote box|'''Edward'''<br />By God, Sir Earl, either go or hang<br />'''Roger Bigod'''<br />By that same oath, O king, I shall neither go nor hang|Chronicle of [[Walter of Guisborough]]<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=416}}.</ref>|align=right}}

Opposition from the laity took longer to surface. This resistance focused on the King's right to demand military service and his right to levy taxes. At the Salisbury Parliament of February 1297, the [[Earl Marshal]] [[Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk]], objected to a royal summons of military service. Bigod argued that the military obligation only extended to service alongside the King; if the King intended to sail to Flanders, he could not send his subjects to Gascony.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1972|p=251}}.</ref> In July, Bigod and [[Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford]] and [[Constable of England]], drew up a series of complaints known as the [[Remonstrances]], in which objections to the high level of taxation were voiced.<ref>{{Harvnb|Harriss|1975|p=61}}.</ref> Undeterred, Edward requested another lay subsidy. This one was particularly provocative, because the King had sought consent from only a small group of magnates, rather than from representatives of the communities in Parliament.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=422}}.</ref> While Edward was in [[Winchelsea]], preparing for the [[English expedition to Flanders (1297–1298)|campaign in Flanders]], Bigod and de Bohun arrived at the Exchequer to prevent the collection of the tax.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=682}}.</ref> As the King left the country with a greatly reduced force, the kingdom seemed to be on the verge of civil war.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=425}}, {{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=683}}.</ref> The English defeat by the Scots at the [[Battle of Stirling Bridge]] resolved the situation. The renewed threat to the homeland gave king and magnates common cause.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=427}}.</ref> Edward signed the ''[[Confirmatio cartarum]]''{{Spaced ndash}}a confirmation of Magna Carta and its accompanying [[Charter of the Forest]]{{Spaced ndash}}and the nobility agreed to serve with the King on a campaign in Scotland.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=170}}, {{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=2}}</ref>

Edward's problems with the opposition did not end with the Scottish campaign. Over the following years he would be held to the promises he had made, in particular that of upholding the Charter of the Forest. In the Parliament of 1301, the King was forced to order an assessment of the [[royal forest]]s, but in 1305 he obtained a papal bull that freed him from this concession.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=525–526, 547–548}}.</ref> Ultimately, it was a change in personnel that spelt the end of the opposition against Edward. De Bohun died late in 1298, after returning from the Scottish campaign.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|p=697}}.</ref> In 1302 Bigod arrived at an agreement with the King that was beneficial for both: Bigod, who had no children, made Edward his heir, in return for a generous annual grant.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=537–538}}.</ref> Edward got his revenge on Winchelsey, who had been opposed to the King's policy of clerical taxation,<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|pp=172–173}}.</ref> in 1305, when [[Clement V]] was elected pope. Clement was a Gascon sympathetic to the King, and on Edward's instigation had Winchelsey suspended from office.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=175}}.</ref>

===Return to Scotland===

Edward believed that he had completed the conquest of Scotland when he left the country in 1296, but resistance soon emerged under the leadership of [[Andrew de Moray]] in the north and [[William Wallace]] in the south. On 11&nbsp;September 1297, a large English force under the leadership of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and [[Hugh de Cressingham]] was routed by a much smaller Scottish army led by Wallace and Moray at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.<ref>{{Harvnb|Barrow|1965|pp=123–126}}.</ref> The defeat sent shockwaves into England, and preparations for a retaliatory campaign started immediately. Soon after Edward returned from Flanders, he headed north.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=688–689}}.</ref> On 22&nbsp;July 1298, in the only major battle he had fought since Evesham in 1265, Edward defeated Wallace's forces at the [[Battle of Falkirk]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=479}}.</ref> Edward was not able to take advantage of the momentum<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=565}}.</ref> and the next year the Scots recaptured [[Stirling Castle]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Watson|1998|pp=92–93}}.</ref> Even though Edward campaigned in Scotland in 1300, when he successfully besieged [[Caerlaverock Castle]] and in 1301, the Scots refused to engage in open battle again, preferring instead to raid the English countryside in smaller groups.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=233}}.</ref>

The Scots appealed to [[Pope Boniface VIII]] to assert a papal claim of overlordship to Scotland in place of the English. His papal bull addressed to King Edward in these terms was firmly rejected on Edward's behalf by the [[Barons' Letter of 1301]]. The English managed to subdue the country by other means: in 1303, a peace agreement was reached between England and France, effectively breaking up the Franco-Scottish alliance.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=497}}.</ref> [[Robert the Bruce]], the grandson of the claimant to the crown in 1291, had sided with the English in the winter of 1301–02.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=496}}.</ref> In 1304, most of the other nobles of the country had also pledged their allegiance to Edward, and the English also managed to re-take Stirling Castle.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=709–711}}.</ref> A great propaganda victory was achieved in 1305 when Wallace was betrayed by Sir [[John de Menteith]] and turned over to the English, who had him taken to London and publicly executed.<ref>{{Harvnb|Watson|1998|p=211}}.</ref> With Scotland largely under English control, Edward installed Englishmen and collaborating Scots to govern the country.<ref>{{Harvnb|Powicke|1962|pp=711–713}}.</ref>

The situation changed again on 10&nbsp;February 1306, when Robert the Bruce murdered his rival [[John Comyn]],<ref name="Hamilton81">{{Harvnb|Hamilton|2010|p=81}}.</ref> and a few weeks later, on 25&nbsp;March, was crowned King of Scotland.<ref>{{Harvnb|Barrow|1965|pp=206–207, 212–213}}.</ref> Bruce now embarked on a campaign to restore Scottish independence, and this took the English by surprise.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=506}}.</ref> Edward was suffering ill health by this time, and instead of leading an expedition himself, he gave different military commands to [[Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke]], and [[Henry Percy, 1st Baron Percy]], while the main royal army was led by the Prince of Wales.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=506–507}}.</ref> The English initially met with success; on 19&nbsp;June, Aymer de Valence routed Bruce at the [[Battle of Methven]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Barrow|1965|p=216}}.</ref> Bruce was forced into hiding, and the English forces recaptured their lost territory and castles.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=507–508}}.</ref>

Edward acted with unusual brutality against Bruce's family, allies, and supporters. His sister, [[Mary Bruce|Mary]], was imprisoned in a cage at [[Roxburgh Castle]] for four years. [[Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan]], who had crowned Bruce, was held in a cage at [[Berwick Castle]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Salzman|1968|p=173}}.</ref> His younger brother [[Nigel de Brus|Neil]] was executed by being [[hanged, drawn, and quartered]]; he had been captured after he and his garrison held off Edward's forces who had been seeking his [[Elizabeth de Burgh|wife]], [[Marjorie Bruce|daughter]] and sisters.<ref>{{Harvnb|Cornell|2009|pp=63–65}}.</ref> Edward now regarded the struggle not as a war between two nations, but as the suppression of a rebellion of disloyal subjects.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|pp=508–509}}.</ref> This brutality, rather than helping to subdue the Scots, had the opposite effect, and rallied growing support for Bruce.<ref>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|2005|p=239}}.</ref>

He developed [[dysentery]] on the way, and his condition deteriorated. On 6&nbsp;July he encamped at [[Burgh by Sands]], just south of the Scottish border.

Barrow]] counters that Edward's contemporaries knew the "meaning of compassion, magnanimity, justice and generosity", that he rarely rose above minimum moral standards of his time, but rather showed a highly vindictive streak, and is among the "boldest opportunists of English political history".<ref>{{harvnb|Barrow|1989|p=|pp=207-208}}; quote at p. 208</ref> [[John Gillingham]] argues that Edward was an "effective bully", but "no king of England had a greater impact on the peoples of Britain than Edward I" and that "modern historians of the English state … have always recognized Edward I's reign as pivotal."{{sfn|Gillingham|2008}} In 2014, Andrew Spencer and Caroline Burt reassessed Edward's reign from an English constitutional perspective, asserting that he had a personal role in reform and a moral purpose in his leadership.{{sfn|Veach|2014|pp=13, 15}} Spencer concludes that Edward's reign "was indeed … a great one", and Burt claims that Edward was "innovative, … creative, focused and successful". She adds that he "played the part of a good king well … [and] with aplomb".<ref>{{Harnvb|Spencer|2014|p=265}}; Burt quoted in {{harvnb|Veach|2014|p=13}}.

There is a great difference between English and Scottish historiography on King Edward.<ref>{{Harvnb|Morris|2009|pp=375–377}}.</ref> G.{{nbsp}}W.{{nbsp}}S.{{nbsp}}Barrow saw Edward as ruthlessly exploiting the leaderless state of Scotland to obtain feudal superiority over the kingdom and reduce it to an English possession.<ref>{{Harvnb|Barrow|1965|p=44}}.</ref> In his view, Edward's insistence on war and misapprehension of Scottish capacity for resistance created a "bitter antagonism … which endured for centuries". [[Michael Brown (historian)|Michael Brown]] warns that Scottish independence should not be viewed as inevitable; Edward could have achieved his goals.{{sfn|Brown|2004|p=344}} Welsh historians see Edward's reign and conquest as a disaster for Welsh confidence and culture.

==Family==
===First marriage===
By his first wife Eleanor of Castile, Edward had at least fourteen children, perhaps as many as sixteen. Of these, five daughters survived into adulthood, but only one son outlived his father, becoming King Edward II ({{R.|1307|1327}}).<ref name= Hamilton62/> Edward's children with Eleanor were:

# Katherine (1261 or 1263–1264)<ref name=Prestwich1997126>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=126}}.</ref>
# Joan (1265–1265)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# John (1266–1271)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Henry (son of Edward I)|Henry]] (1268–1274)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Eleanor of England (1269–1298)|Eleanor]] (1269–1298)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# Unnamed daughter (1271–1271 or 1272)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Joan of Acre|Joan]] (1272–1307)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Alphonso, Earl of Chester|Alphonso]] (1273–1284)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Margaret of England (1275–1333)|Margaret]] (1275–1333)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# Berengaria (1276–1277 or 1278)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# Unnamed child (1278–1278)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Mary of Woodstock|Mary]] (1278–1332)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Elizabeth of Rhuddlan|Elizabeth]] (1282–1316)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>
# [[Edward II]] (1284–1327)<ref name=Prestwich1997126/>

===Second marriage===
By Margaret of France, Edward had two sons, both of whom lived to adulthood, and a daughter who died as a child:

# [[Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk|Thomas]] (1300–1338)<ref>{{Harvnb|Waugh|2004b}}</ref>
# [[Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent|Edmund]] (1301–1330)<ref>{{Harvnb|Waugh|2004a}}.</ref>
# Eleanor (1306–1311)<ref>{{Harvnb|Parsons|2008}}</ref>

A genealogy in the [[Hailes Abbey]] chronicle indicates that [[John Botetourt, 1st Baron Botetourt|John Botetourt]] may have been Edward's illegitimate son, but the claim is unsubstantiated.<ref name=Prestwich1997131>{{Harvnb|Prestwich|1997|p=131}}, {{Harvnb|Gorski|2009}}</ref>
