Eldest surviving son of Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence; king of England (1272-1307). Characterized by one contemporary as a leopard for his deviousness and a lion for his bravery, Edward was tall, handsome and eloquent. In 1254 he married Eleanor of Castile and became duke of Gascony and 9th earl of Chester. Before her death in 1290 Eleanor gave Edward 16 children, seven of whom survived. When she died, to commemorate his love for her, he erected 12 Eleanor crosses along the route of her funeral procession from Lincoln to Westminster.
During Edward's reign royal rights and franchises were investigated and clarified and attempts were made to improve law and order. Controls were instituted over new grants of land to the Church and Edward, although pious and a generous patron of the religious orders, resisted any increase in papal authority in England. In 1277 he mounted a major campaing in Wales to bring Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, prince of Wales, to heel, but Welsh resistance continued, and the rebellion was not decisively crushed until 1282-83.
In 1290, the legitimate heir to the Scottish throne, Margaret, Maid of Norway, died, and Edward was asked to arbitrate between 13 claimants. His choice, John Balliol, was unpopular, and first William Wallace, then Robert Bruce, rebelled against him. Wallace and his followers were crushed by Edward, but Bruce seized the crown in 1306 and was to remain a problem to Edward's son and successor, Edward II.
In 1294 war erupted with Philip IV of France over Gascony and Edward, already heavily committed in Scotland, was forced to demand substantial funds from the English parliament. There was strong oppisition and demands for the cessation of royal exactions. In 1297 the king re-issued Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest, and promised to remedy the abuses meted out by his administrators. He also abolished the most detested tax of all, the 'maltote', levied on wool.
Edward reached a settlement with Philip IV in 1299 and married his sister, Margaret, who gave him three children. Edward died at Burgh by Sands in Cumbria, on his way to campaign in Scotland. He was buried in Westmister Abbey under a plain slab inscribed 'Here lied Edward I, the hammer of the Scots.'
