     He was King of England. He Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), king of England (1272-1307),Lord of Gascony, of the house of Plantagenet. He wasborn inWestminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III, and at15 married Eleanor of Castile. In the struggles of the barons against the crownfor constitutional andecclesiastical reforms, Edward took a vacillating course. When warfarebroke out between the crown and the nobility, Edward fought on theside of the king, winning the decisive battle of Evesham in 1265. Five years later he left England to jointhe Seventh Crusade. Following his father's death in 1272, and whilehe was still abroad, Edward was recognized as king by the Englishbarons; in 1273, on his return to England, he was crowned. The first yearsof Edward's reign were aperiod of the consolidation of his power. He suppressed corruption inthe administration of justice, restricted the jurisdiction of theecclesiastical courts to church affairs, and eliminated the papacy's overlordship over England. On the refusalof Llewelyn ab Gruffydd (died 1282), ruler of Wales, to submit to theEnglish crown, Edward began the military conflict that resulted, in1284, in the annexation of Llewelyn's principality to the English crown. In 1290 Edward expelledall Jews from England. War between England and France broke out in1293 as a result of the efforts of France to curb Edward's power inGascony. Edward lost Gascony in 1293 and did not again come into possession of the duchy until 1303. Aboutthe same year in which he lost Gascony, the Welsh rose in rebellion.Greater than either of these problems was the disaffectionof thepeople of Scotland. In agreeing to
arbitrate among the claimants to theScottish throne, Edward, in 1291,had exacted as a prior condition the recognition by all concerned ofhis overlordship of Scotland. The Scots later repudiatedhim and madean alliance with France against England. To meet the critical situations in Wales and Scotland, Edwardsummoned a parliament, called the Model Parliament by historiansbecause it was a representative body and in that respect was theforerunner of all future parliaments. Assured by Parliament of support at home, Edward took the field andsuppressed the Welsh insurrection. In 1296, after invading andconquering Scotland, he declared himself king of that realm. In 1298he again invaded Scotland to suppress the revolt led by Sir William Wallace. In winning the Battle of Falkirk in1298, Edward achieved the greatest military triumph of his career, buthe failed to crush Scottish opposition. The conquest of Scotlandbecame the ruling passion of his life. He was, however, compelled by the nobles, clergy, and commons todesist in his attempts to raise by arbitrary taxes the funds he neededfor campaigns. In 1299 Edward made peace with France and marriedMargaret, sister of King Philip III of France. Thus freed of war, he again undertook the conquest ofScotland in 1303. Wallace was captured and executed in 1305. No soonerhad Edward established his government in Scotland, however, than a newrevolt broke out and culminated in the coronation of Robert Bruce as king of Scotland. In 1307 Edward setout for the third time to subdue the Scots, but he died en route nearCarlisle on July 7, 1307. He also had a daughter with Eleanor ofCastile that died young. He [Source: Who's Who in the Middle Ages, John Fines, Barnes & Noble Books,New York, 1995]

Edward I was born at Westminster in 1239, and was named for his fatherHenry III's favourite saint, Edward the Confessor. He was heir to widedomains and many troubles, and had an early taste of both. In 1252 he wasgiven charge of the troublesome but lucrative Gascon territories. Twoyears later he was married to Eleanor of Castile---a political marriage,but one that was to turn into a love-match.

There was little time to enjoy it at first, for Edward was now pitchedinto the discords of the English baronial revolt. His father was neithera good leader of men, nor a good soldier, so the burden was thrust uponhis young son. The barons' leader, Simon de Montfort, was Edward's uncle,and there is no doubt that the prince was both attracted to his uncle'sideas of government, and also deeply influenced by his military tactics.But after the defeat at Lewes, and a humiliating imprisonment, hisadmiration turned to hostility, which was only sated with the rout ofEvesham in 1265.

In the next few years he acted as a moderating influence on his father'svindictive wrath, and saw to it that the settlement with the baronialopposition should not in itself provoke a further uprising.

In 1270 he was at last able to go off on crusade, when he brought reliefto Acre. His military reputation now soared, and in 1272 he suffered anattack from an assassin, in which he was grazed by a poisoned dagger inthe scuffle. He recovered, and was able to negotiate a ten-year trucebefore returning home, covered with honour.

On landing in Sicily he heard of his father's death, but he did not hurryto get back to England, spending a whole year settling his affairs inGascony first. It was 1274 before England saw him. Once properly seatedon the throne, however, he gave every evidence of his vigour anddetermination to rule. Within two months of the coronation, commissionerswere scouring the land completing a survey as large and efficient as anythat had been understaken since Domesday. The commissioners enquired intoencroachments upon royal rights, and into injustices committed by theking's servants; their detailed reports are know to historians as theHundred Rolls, based as they were on the administrative unit of thehundred.

The evidence of the Hundred Rolls was to be the basis of Edward'slegislative reforms. A long series of statutes, enacted at the enlargedparliaments introduced by Simon de Montfort, aimed at the improvement ofjustice at the local as well as the national level, and also tried torationalise the bewildering array of jurisdictions, known as liberties,the feudal government had seen grow up. Edward had a genuine concern tosee justice done, which gained for him the deep admiration of hissubjects. He was also very well informed about the localities, for he wasconstantly on the move, covering distances of about 2,000 miles a year,with a court of perhaps a thousand horses lumbering behind him on themuddy and dangerous medieval roads.

Much larger groups travelled with him when he went to war, and Wales wasthe first to see his unwelcome visitation. Llewellyn, Prince of Wales,had rather foolishly refused to do homage for his lands at Edward'scoronation, and in 1277 the King attacked and reduced his dominions byhalf. Five years later the Prince's brother David rose in rebellion, andLlewellyn was forced to join him, only to be killed in a petty foray.With no great leader left to them, the Welsh submitted to annexation, andsaw gigantic castles rise in key-points such as Conway, Caernarvon andHarlech, castles that would prevent future revolt. Edward was an arrantcolonist, and typically brought back from Wales the great cross of Neathto carry in procession to Westminster for the service of thanksgiving.The Abbey was to see many more proud trophies plundered for itsdecoration and distinction.

Edward was eager to be off to Palestine once more, but the Europeansituation prevented a new crusade: France and Aragon struggled over thebody of Sicily, and the Pope was hopelessly committed as a partisan.Edward now spent long months attempting to bring peace to Europe so thatthe Christian nations could unite in crusade.

His design for Europe was interrupted by troubles at home. In hisprolonged absence corruption throve, and in 1289 the King was forced toconduct an enquiry which resulted, among other things, in the banishmentof his chief justice. The same year he had to go north to convene thecourt that was to judge between the various 'competitors' for the throneof Scotland. The legalism fascinated him, but in the middle of thisinteresting judicial wrangle, his wife died. He was heartbroken, and ashe accompanied the body from Lincolnshire to London, he ordered elaboratecrosses to be set up wherever the cortège rested. The last was CharingCross. A most beautiful monument was set up in Westminster Abbey, andthose who view it can see something of Edward's loss.

Back in Scotland he finally adjudged John Balliol's claim for the crownto be the best, but forced him to accept vassal status as a quid pro quo.Years of trouble lay ahead: the French made war, the Welsh rebelled, andthe Pope made life extrememly difficult for the hard-pressed Englishking. He continued to demand Edward's presence on crusade---which hewould have dearly loved, but found impossible; his only contribution wasthe expulsion of Jews in 1290. Furthermore the Pope had suddenly issued aBull declaring that the state had no right to tax the clergy, and Edwardwas desperately short of money for war on three fronts.

These diffficulties explain but do not excuse the viciousness of hisactions in the next few years. Scotland had refused to accept him asoverlord, and he annexed the land, deposed Balliol, and removed the Stoneof Scone to Westminster Abbey in 1296. When Wallace rose as a leader inScotland, Edward increased the fury of his attack; the rebels received nomercy.

Gradually the King seemed to be achieving his aims. France was satisfiedby his marriage to the sister of the French king, and by 1304 Scotlandseemed well under his heel, controlled by a policy of ruthless savagery.Edward could at last turn his attention back to English affairs, wheredisorder was rampant. New justices were sent round on the 'Trailbaston'commission to seek out the unsavoury Robin Hoods of the land, andgradually order returned.

Inagine then the fury of the aged king when, in 1306, Robert Bruce, whohad been his man for the past four years, suddenly went north and wascrowned King of Scots. Old, tired, and sick, Edward moved up country todeal with this fresh menace to peace, but was taken very ill on the way.He had to direct the campaign from his bed, and vitriolic lettersshowered on his commanders accusing them of inaction and failure.

In a last tremendous effort the King got up and gave his litter toCarlisle Cathedral---a typical gesture, again---and set off on horseback.The progress was desperately slow---some two miles a day---but even thatwas too fast for the sick king, who quickly succumbed and died in July1307.

Son and father of weak and inefffectual kings, Edward I had many finequalities which seem to make nonsence of heredity. He was tall andstrong, a fine horseman and a doughty warrior. A great leader of men, hewas also able to lead to success. He was interested in government and lawin a very genuine way. As a personality he was pious, but easily provokedto rage and often vindictive. He was fond of games---so passionately didhe love his hawks that when they were ill he sent money to shrines topray for their recovery. He was generous to the poor, and often a gaycompanion: he played chess, and loved music and acrobats; once he bet hislaundress Matilda that she couldn't ride his charger, and she won! EveryEaster Monday he paid ransom to his maids if they found him in bed. Heloved his two wives, and fussed over their health and that of hischildren with a pathetic concern---sometimes threatening the doctor withwhat would happen to him if his patient did not recover. His peoplefeared, respected and remembered him.

     He John of Gaunt played an important part in the wars of the periodbetween England and France and between England and Spain. He commandeda division of the English army, led by the Black Prince, that defeatedthe army of Henry (later Henry II,
king of Castile and Len) at Najera in 1367. As a result of his secondmarriage, to Constance, daughter of PedroIII the Cruel (king ofCastile and Len), John laid claim to the throne of Castile. During theHundred Years' War, he aided
(1370-71) the Black Prince against France and established English ruleover most of southern France. After a severeillness forced the returnof the Black Prince to England, John took command of the Englisharmies; by 1380 he had lost much of
the territory the English had previously won. In 1386 John invadedCastile, but was defeated by John I, king ofCastile and Len. John ofGaunt gave up his claim to Castile and Len in 1387, when his daughtermarried Henry, later Henry III,
king of Castile and Len. John of Gaunt was also prominent in Englishaffairs. Together with Alice Perrers (d. 1400), his father's mistress,John dominated the English government. His rule wasopposed byParliament and by the Black Prince. In
1376 Parliament banished Alice Perrers and curtailed John's powers.The death of the Black Prince that year and the dissolution ofParliament, however, enabled John to regain his power. In1377, on thedeath of Edward III and the accession of
Richard II (John's nephew and son of the Black Prince), John gave uphis control of the government and thereafter played the role ofpeacemaker; he also supported the king, by whom he was made (1390)duke of Aquitaine. In 1396, after the death
of his second wife,John married his mistress Catherine Swynford andRichard legitimized their children the following year. Saddened by theexile (1398) of his son, Henry of Lancaster (later King Henry IV ofEngland), John died.of Gaunt

Dear Newsgroup:

Various English sources I've checked state that Philippe III, King ofFrance, married 28 May 1262 to Isabel, daughter of Jaime I, King ofAragon. However, I've located a contemporary French record of this couple's marriage entered into the records of Eudes Rigaud, Archbishop ofRouen. This record reads as follows:

II. non. Julii. [6 July 1262]. Cum Dei adjuturio, in majori ecclesiadicti loci, presentibus Francorum et Aragonum et Navarrae regibus,multisque Franciae praelatis et baronibus, desponsavimus dominumPhilippum, primogenitum domini regis Francorum, cum domicella Ysabelli,filia dicti regis Aragonum.' [Reference: Visitations of Eudes Rigaud,Archbishop of Rouen, printed in Recueil des Historiens des Gaules et dela France, by J.-D. Guigniaut, vol. 21 (1855): 587].

I assume the above record is authentic. It basically states that Philippe and Isabel were married 6 July 1262, in the presence of the kings of France, Aragon, and Navarre, and various French prelates and barons. If this account is accurate, then the marriage of King PhilippeIII and his wife, Isabel of Aragon, will have to be re-dated to be 6 July1262.

Does anyone have another contemporary French source which would confirmor counter the above information?

Following is a brief summary of Henry's entry from the 'Dictionary ofNational Biography' :

He served with EDWARD I in Flanders in 1297 and 1298. He fought inScotland several times between 1298 and 1305. In 1315 he, in common withthe other lords of the Welsh marches, joined the Earl of Hereford inputting down the rebellion of Llewelyn Bren, and in 1318 he was orderedto bring his Welsh retainers to Newcastle to serve against the Scots. Hewas opposed to the Despensers, for the greediness of the youngerthreatened the lords marchers generally; but he does not seem to have hadany violent feelings against the king, and was not involved in hisbrother's [Thomas, Earl of Lancaster] treason. In 1324 he was createdEarl of Lancaster, Earl of Leicester, and Steward of England, dignitieswhich had been held by his brother. It is evident that he was indignantat his brother's fate, and was resolved to avenge it, and was notappeased by these honors. In 1324 the King unsuccessfully had him triedfor treason. He was, at this time, regarded as the foremost man in thekingdom. Henry supported Queen Isabel upon her return to England and hewas instrumental in the downfall of the Despensers and had custody ofKing Edward II for a time during his imprisonment. He is said to havetreated the King very humanely. Henry was the guardian of King Edward IIIduring his minority and was the chief member of the council ofgovernment. In 1326 he took the lead in opposition to the rule of QueenIsabel and her paramour, ROGER MORTIMER, EARL OF MARCH (RIN 684). Earlyin the year 1330, following a slow degeneration of his vision, Henrybecame totally blind. Still, he persuaded the king of the necessity ofgetting rid of MORTIMER and was the mastermind of the plot which led toMORTIMER'S capture, trial, and execution late in the year. The Earl'sblindness, which he bore with patience, forced him to retire from activelife; he gave himself wholly to devotion. He was courteous andkindhearted, of sound judgement, religious, and apparently of high. Henry Plantagenet 3rd Earl of Lancaster, MP was also known as Henry of Lancaster , 3rd Earl of Lancaster, MP.

     Lady Anne Beauchamp was born circa September 1426 at Caversham, Oxfordshire, England.¹ She was the daughter of Richard de Beauchamp , KG, 13th Earl of Warwick and Isabel le Despenser , Baroness Burghersh.

He died on 21 October 1425 at Raby Castle, Durham, England.^1,5
     He The 'Kingmaker's' grandfather, the 1st Earl of Westmorland settled abouthalf the original Neville estates on the children of his second marriage,whereas the subsequent Earls of Westmorland were the product of hisfirst. It thus came about that the 2nd-6th Earls of Westmorland wereactually less well-endowed territorially than their ancestors who hadbeen mere barons. The pre-eminence of that branch of the familyrepresented by the Earls of Salisbury/Warwick, who stemmed from thesecond marriage, was made correspondingly easier.

The 1st Earl of Westmorland had multiplicity of children: nine by thefirst wife, fourteen by his second. Of his 23 in all, four were peers,three were duchesses and another four daughters the wives of lesserpeers; moreover of those three duchesses one was mother of two kings.Between 1450 and 1455 no fewer than 13 members of the family had seats inthe House of Lords. This very fecundity like that of Edward III,engendered quarrels. There was rivalry between the two branches of thefamily, which grew from a dispute about family estates into a differenceas to dynastic loyalties. It thus served as an overture to the Wars ofthe Roses, one which was made even more ominous by a dispute between theNevilles, represented by the 1st Marquess of Montagu and the Percys.[Burke's Peerage]

He assistedin the coronation of Henry IV and was a member of the council of regencyappointed to rule in the infancy of King Henry V. With his secondmarriage to Joan Beaufort, a widowed daughter of John Of Gaunt, fourthson of Edward III, this favorably affected Joan and Ralph's wealth andsocial prestige, making possible brilliant marriages for their children.In 1450, five of Ralph's sons, five sons-in-law and several grandsonswere in Parliament.

Soon after this, he stoutly resisted the Earl ofNorthumberland in his rebellion and forced the Percies, who had advancedas far as Durham, to fall back upon Prudhoe, when the battle ofShrewsbury ensued, in which the gallant Hotspur sustained so signal adefeat, and closed his impetuous career.

Gilbert de Clare, surnamed the Red, 7th Earl of Hertford and 3rd Earl ofGloucester, who, by the king's procurement, m. in 1257, Alice, dau. ofGuy, Earl of Angoulême, and niece of the king of France, which monarchbestowed upon the lady a marriage portion of 5,000 marks. This nobleman,who, like his predecessors, was zealous in the cause of the barons,proceeded to London immediately after the defeat sustained by theinsurrectionary lords at Northampton (48th Henry III) [1264], in order torouse the citizens, which, having effected, he received the honour ofknighthood from Montfort, Earl of Leicester, at the head of the army atLewes; of which army, his lordship, with John Fitz-John and William deMontchensi, commanded the second brigade, and having mainly contributedto the victory in which the king and prince became prisoners, while thewhole power of the realm fell into the hands of the victors, the earlprocured a grant under the great seal of all the lands and possessionslying in England of John de Warren, Earl of Surrey, one of the mostfaithful adherents of the king, excepting the castles of Riegate andLewes, to hold during the pleasure of the crown, and he soon after, withsome of the principal barons, extorted from the captive monarch acommission authorizing Stephen, then bishop of Chichester, SimonMontford, Earl of Leicester, and himself, to nominate nine persons of'the most faithful, prudent, and most studious of the public weal,' aswell prelates as others, to manage all things according to the laws andcustoms of the realm until the consultations at Lewes should terminate.Being jealous, however, of the power of Leicester, the earl soon afterabandoned the baronial cause and, having assisted in procuring theliberty of the king and prince, commanded the second brigade of the royalarm at the battle of Evesham, which restored the kingly power to itsformer lustre. In reward of these eminent services he received a fullpardon for himself and his brother Thomas of all prior treasons, and thecustody of the castle of Bergavenny during the minority of Maud, wife ofHumphrey de Bohun. His lordship veered again though in his allegiance andhe does not appear to have been sincerely reconciled to the royal causeuntil 1270, in which year, demanding from Prince Edward repayment of theexpenses he had incurred at the battle of Evesham, with livery of all thecastles and lands which his ancestors had possessed and, those demandshaving been complied with, he thenceforward became a good and loyalsubject of the crown. Upon the death of King Henry, the Earl of Hertfordand Gloucester was one of the lords who met at the New Temple in Londonto proclaim Prince Edward, then in the Holy Land, successor to the crown,and so soon as the new monarch returned to England, his lordship was thefirst to entertain him and his whole retinue with great magnificence forseveral days at his castle of Tonebruge. In the 13th Edward I [1285], hislordship divorced his wife Alice, the French princess, and inconsideration of her illustrious birth, granted for her support duringher life, six extensive manors and parks, and he m. in 1289, Joan ofAcre, dau. of King Edward I, upon which occasion he gave up theinheritance of his castles and manors, as well in England as i Wales, tohis royal father-in-law, to dispose of as he might think proper; whichmanors, &c., were entailed by the king upon the earl's issue by the saidJoane, and in default, upon her heirs and assigns, should she survive thelordship. By this lady he had issue, Gilbert, his successor, Alianore,Margaret, and Elizabeth. His lordship d. in 1295, and the Countess Joansurviving, m. a 'plain esquire,' called Ralph de Monthermer,clandestinely, without the king, her father's, knowledge, but to whichalliance he was reconciled through the intercession of Anthony Beke, thecelebrated bishop of Durham, and became eventually much attached to hisnow son-in-law.

----------

Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester (1243-1295), 8th earl of Gloucesterand 9th earl of Clare, was born at Christchurch, Hampshire, on Sept. 2,1243. He married Alice of Angoulême, niece of king Henry III, succeededhis father in July 1262, and joined the baronial party led by Simon deMontfort. With Simon, Gloucester was at the battle of Lewes in May 1264,when the king himself surrendered to him, and after this victory he wasone of the three persons selected to nominate a council. Soon, however,he quarreled with Simon. Leaving London for his lands on the Welsh borderhe met Prince Edward, afterward king Edward I, at Ludlow, just after hisescape from captivity; and contributed largely to the prince's victory atEvesham in August 1265. But this alliance was as transitory as the onewith Leicester, Gloucester championed the barons who had surrendered atKenilworth in November and December 1266, and after putting his demandsbefore the king, secured possession of London (April 1267). The earlquickly made his peace with Henry III and with Prince Edward. UnderEdward I he spent several years in fighting in Wales, or on the Welshborder; in 1289 when the barons were asked for a subsidy he replied ontheir behalf that they would grant nothing until they saw the king inperson (nihi prius personaliter viderent in Anglia faciem regis), and in1291 he was fined and imprisoned on account of levying private war onHumphrey de Bohun, earl of Hereford. Having divorced his wife Alice, hemarried in 1290 Edward's daughter Joan, or Johanna (d. 1307). The 'RedEarl,' as he is sometimes called, died at Monmouth on Dec. 7, 1295,leaving, in addition to three daughters, a son, Gilbert, earl ofGloucester, killed at Bannockburn.
