I must admit as Robert de Bruce was my 17th great grandfather, I am always looking for anything written that might tell me anything more about him especially after he was so wrongly portrayed in Braveheart. I haven't quite finished this book but thought I would review it anyway since I've only a few pages left and since historical there won't be a surprising ending. I've enjoyed immensely learning more about Edward I. He was so much more a king than I knew. This book is well written turning historical facts into such an interesting and entertaining read. I began to really study the history of Britain about fifty years ago and find I've only just begun. If you are even just a little interested, this will entice you to learn more.
Mel Gibson make Edward I famous in America. Braveheart, a lot-of-fun movie, is about Edward and his hapless son, as well as William Wallace and his fight for Scottish independence. The scope here is considerably larger and Wallace does not get all that much page space.Edward was tough, not always fair, sometimes seemingly bloodthirsty, stunningly selfish --but a very effective monarch in terms of creating a kingdom, suppressing rivals and building international alliances. He unified Wales and kept Scotland within English rule,mostly. He was very good at depleting the treasury too, suggesting that nation building is not an inexpensive enterprise. While 'Braveheart' indelibly made Edward ("Longshanks"} look like Patrick McGoohan in my imagination, the scope of A Great and Terrible King is much more, as well as more thorough and remains consistently interesting. It was inspiring enough to make me look around for other authors covering the same time period with less success than I hoped. . Those were busy times, when "nation hood' sort of became a thing, and when an English king could, very reasonably, assume that a substantial swath of France belonged to him as well. The inability of Edward II (son and heir) to keep it together supports the Great Man theory of evaluating history (a view I don't entirely hold). I read this book perhaps 6-8 months ago and am certainly failing to note some important moments, but for me to still remember so much of the man and his wars and wives is an endorsement of the effectiveness of the author. An interesting and engaging read throughout.
Edward I (1239-1307, reigned from 1272) was a remarkable ruler, both good and bad. He was first and foremost a warrior but in the early years of his reign he displayed an interest in good government -- and it helped that his interests coincided with those of his subjects who had suffered from civil strife during the years of Edward's predessor and father, the wretched Henry III. Of necessity, and since Edward was 33 when he succeeded his father, the reader has to endure a complicated tale of Henry's failures and the idiotic policies he pursued which led to civil war and years of intrigue, betrayal, the breaking of holy vows, and erratic kingship. This can be tedious for the casual reader. Morris, however, manages to untangle all of these strings in a clear and concise narrative.While waiting to assume the throne, Edward led an interesting life. He came under the spell of Simon de Montfort and for a time he was in conflict with Henry III. Later, he returned to his loyalty to his father and this section, too, Morris untangles (and it IS complicated). Of interest to many is Morris' narrative of Edward's adventures during the Crusades (and almost losing his life in the process). He was on his way home when he learned that he was now king of Englad after Henry III finally obliged many by dying. It is here that Edward comes into his own.Morris deals with all of Edward's wars, first against Wales and then later against Scotland. The propriety or impropriety of these wars is left to the reader to decide. This is a very good military history of the times: marches, counter marches, more victories than not, betrayals and all the rest. Running like threads throughout this part of the book some are interesting problems that Edward faced while fighting his wars. First, Edward was impecunious throughout most of his reign. This brought him into continual conflict with his many parliaments, where he often faced off against Roger Bigod, earl of Norfolk, and Roger Winchelsea, Archbishop of Canterbury, when Edward applied to the laity and clergy to pay for all of his wars. Second, Edward's lordship of Gascony was a constant trouble, as its inhabitants were unruly and a series of French kings kept a predatory eye on his territory, one of the last remnants of Henry II's Angevin empire. Third, Edward's dubious claims to Scottish lordship troubled the rest of his reign. Here he faced the unremitting antipathy of Roger Wishart, bishop of Glasgow, William Wallace, and various obstreperous Scottish lords. Dealing was these people was fairly straightforward compared to what Edward had to endure from the ultra-slippery Bruce family, especially Robert the younger. Edward was facing yet another Scottish rebellion when he died at Burgh by Sands in Cumbria, bringing to a close one of the most eventful lives experienced by any monarch.What this biography is not is a look at life at Edward's court. Such a peripatetic King had little time for the usual stories of activities that fill biographies of, say, the Tudor house. This is a male-dominated narrative. Edward's first queen, Eleanor of Castile, provides what little there is of female perspectives. We learn little about his daughters and very little about his second wife, Margaret of France, sister to Philip IV. Of all of Edward's children we learn most about his son Alfonso and, towards the end of the book, and inevitably, his eventual heir who became Edward II. Morris tries to steer clear of lurid premonitions about Edward II, who later was also in the running for worst king of England. Still, there is no getting around the epic character flaws of Edward I's heir, but Morris is both frank and tactful about this aspect of Edward I's troubles.Readers will also have to look elsewhere for more information about William Wallace, the Welsh princes, and other legendary characters. In sum, however, this book is highly readable and, as mentioned before, Morris never loses control of his narrative. It is consistently clear, closely reasoned, and speculation is kept to an utter minimum. It appears that Morris will publish a biography of Edward I's grandfather, King John of ill fame, and I hope that Marc Morris will continue to publish more excellent biographies of British monarchs.
I purchased this on a whim because it was a $1.99 Kindle book. I'm so glad I did, because it was a fascinating read! I wasn't even sure where Edward I stood in the lineup of British monarchy but I thoroughly enjoyed learning not only about Edward and his family, but the social, economic, and political conditions in England (and the rest of the not-yet United Kingdom) in the late 1200s/early 1300s. There's a lot of information about the crusades, Welsh and Scottish rebellions, and some of the major laws passed during Edward I's rule that still have an impact today. Even if, like me, you're an American with almost zero knowledge of English/Scottish relations in the time of Edward I, you will encounter characters (nonfictional ones) whom you recognize and battles the outcomes of which still impact today's world. For a biography of a long-ago king, this was quite the page-turner.
