Features and Provenance: Edward I. also known as Edward ‘Longshanks’ due to his tall stature. was king of England from 1272 to 1307. As prince. he was a vassel of the King of France and ruled Gascony in France as Duke of Aquitaine. often referred to as ‘the Lord Edward’. He was abroad when his father died. but instead of rushing home he paid homage to the Pope and visited Gascony on the way back to England.

He had an eye for business and made sure his affairs were being run efficiently before he left. He also put down a revolt by a French nobleman. All this strengthened his bond with the local people and the King of France. On his return to England he had to contend with Welsh and Scottish unrest.
