Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major biography of a truly formidable king, whose reign was one of the most dramatic and important of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale. Edward I is familiar to millions as "Longshanks," conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace (in "Braveheart"). Yet that story forms only the final chapter of the king's action-packed life. Earlier, Edward had defeated and killed Simon de Montfort in battle; traveled to the Holy Land; conquered Wales, extinguishing its native rulers and constructing a magnificent chain of castles. He raised the greatest armies of the Middle Ages and summoned the largest parliaments; notoriously, he expelled all the Jews from his kingdom. The longest-lived of England's medieval kings, Edward fathered fifteen children with his first wife, Eleanor of Castile and, after her death, erected the Eleanor Crosses—the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch. In this book, Marc Morris examines afresh the forces that drove Edward throughout his relentless career: his character, his Christian faith, and his sense of England's destiny—a sense shaped largely by the tales of the legendary King Arthur. Morris also explores the competing reasons that led Edward's opponents (including Robert Bruce) to resist him. The result is a sweeping story, immaculately researched yet compellingly told, and a vivid picture of medieval Britain at the moment when its future was decided.

Download or read book Edward I's Conquest of Wales written by Sean Davies and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of medieval warfare and a formative event in the history of Britain. Edward I’s conquest of Wales has not been the subject of a scholarly book for over a century. Research has advanced since then, changing our perception of the medieval military mind and shining fresh light on the key characters involved in the conquest. That is why Sean Davies’s absorbing new study is so timely and important. Taking a balanced approach, he gives both the Welsh and English perspectives on the war and on the brutal, mistrustful, and ruthless personal motives that drove events. His account is set in the context of Welsh warfare and society from the end of Rome to the time of Edward’s opening campaign in the late thirteenth century. The narrative describes in vivid detail the military history of the conflict; the sequence of campaigns; Welsh resistance; Edward’s castle building and English colonization; the cost of the struggle to the Welsh and the English; and the uneasy peace that followed.

Download or read book Edward I and Wales (I) Llywelyn written by David Pilling and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And then all Wales was thrown to the ground..."On a bleak winter's day in December 1282 the Prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, was lured into an ambush and killed. His army was scattered and his severed head sent to Edward I, who had it displayed at the Tower of London. Llywelyn's lifelong struggle to unify his country had come to a violent and tragic end.The death of Llywelyn, and the execution of his brother Dafydd nine months later, resulted in the conquest of Gwynedd and the effective destruction of their dynasty. It also marked the end of over two hundred years of conflict, in which the native lords of Gwynedd had successfully resisted the power of the English crown. King Edward's victory in 1283 was a landmark in Welsh history, and left a bitter legacy that endures to this day. This is the story of the conflict between Edward and Llywelyn, a long and convoluted struggle played out over several decades. Both men were ambitious, proud, stubborn and highly competent, neither prepared to give ground to the other. Theirs was as much a personal rivalry as a war between two competing states, but it need not have ended in blood. As this account will show, the king and the prince were not always enemies, and there was nothing inevitable about Llywelyn's downfall.This is the first of two volumes on the history of Edward I and Wales by David Pilling, author of The Wars of Edward I 1255-74 (I) The Leopard. He is also the author of fictional works such as the Longsword series, Reiver, Caesar's Sword, The White Hawk, The Half-Hanged Man and many others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 13th century witnessed the conquest of Wales after two hundred years of conflict between Welsh princes and the English crown. In 1282 Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the only native Prince of Wales to be formally acknowledged by a King of England, was slain by English forces. His brother Dafydd continued the fight, but was eventually captured and executed. Further revolts followed under Rhys ap Maredudd, a former crown ally, and Madog ap Llywelyn, a kinsman of the defeated lords of Gwynedd. The Welsh wars were a massive undertaking for the crown, and required the mobilization of all resources. Edward’s willingness to direct the combined power of the English state and church against the Prince of Wales, to an unprecedented degree, resulted in a victory that had eluded all of his predecessors. This latest study of the Welsh wars of Edward I will draw upon recently translated archive material, allowing a fresh insight into military and political events. Edward’s personal relationship with Welsh leaders is also reconsidered. Traditionally, the conquest is dated to the fall of Llywelyn in December 1282, but this book will argue that Edward was not truly the master of Wales until 1294. In the years between those two dates he broke the power of the great Marcher lords and crushed two further large-scale revolts against crown authority. After 1294 he was able to exploit Welsh manpower on a massive scale. His successors followed the same policy during the Scottish wars and the Hundred Years War. Edward enjoyed considerable support among the ‘uchelwyr’ or Welsh gentry class, many of whom served him as diplomats and spies as well as military captains. This aspect of the king’s complex relationship with the Welsh will also feature.
