Edward I "Longshanks" Plantagenet of was born on June 17th, 1239 in Westminster Palace, London, England and his baptism took place on June 22nd, 1239. Edward I "Longshanks" Plantagenet of's father was Henry III of England and his mother was Eleanor of Provence. His paternal grandparents were John "Soft Sword" and Isabella de Taillefer; his maternal grandparents were Raimond-Berenger and Beatrice De Savoia. He had three brothers and two sisters, named John, Henry, Edmund "Crouchback", Beatrice and Margaret. He died at the age of 67 on June 7th, 1307 in Burgh on Sands, Cumbria, England. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England.General Notes
In 1272 Edward went on a Crusade as far as Acre, where his daughter Joan was born, and although he inherited the crown that year, he did not return to England until 1274, being crowned on August 19th. He was eminent as a ruler and as a legislator, and succeeded in enacting many new laws. He determined to authorize no new legislation without the counsel and acquiescence of those who were most affected by it. Not until late in his reign did he call a whole Parliament together. Instead he called the Barons together in any matter that affected the Barons, and representatives of the townsmen together in any matter that affected the townsmen, and so with other classes.
In 1290 Edward expelled all Jews from England. In 1296, after invading and conquering Scotland, he declared himself king of that realm. The conquest of Scotland became the ruling passion of his life. He was, however, compelled by the nobles, clergy and commons to desist in his attempts to raise by arbitrary taxes the funds he needed for campaigns. In 1307 Edward set out for the third time (at age 68) to subdue the Scots, but he died en route near Carlisle on 7 July 1307.
