Edward I of England

Edward I of England, often called "Longshanks" due to his height, ruled from 1272 to 1307. He is known for his military campaigns, particularly against Wales, where he aimed to solidify English control. Edward established the English Parliament, expanding its role in governance, and sought to reform the legal system. His reign marked the transition from medieval to more modern government practices. Despite his conquests, his aggressive policies led to tensions in Scotland, culminating in conflicts that would shape English-Scottish relations for centuries. Edward was a significant figure in English history, remembered for both his accomplishments and controversies.
