Longshanks

Longshanks is a nickname for King Edward I of England, who ruled from 1272 to 1307. He earned this title, which means "long legs," due to his tall stature. Edward I is known for his military campaigns against Scotland, including his conflict with the Scottish leader William Wallace, portrayed in the film "Braveheart." His reign was marked by efforts to consolidate power, reform the legal system, and expand English territories. Edward I's legacy includes the establishment of the Parliament as a governing body and significant influence on English law and governance.
