EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the regal presence of Edward I, also known as Longshanks, who reigned as King of England from 1272 to 1307. Born in 1239, Edward was the eldest son of Henry III and Eleanor of Provence. His nickname, Longshanks, was given to him due to his tall stature and long legs. Edward I is depicted here in full armor, ready for battle. The intricately designed helmet, adorned with a crest, protects his head. In his right hand, he holds a sword, a symbol of his power and authority. In his left hand, he grasps a large shield, emblazoned with the royal coat of arms. Edward I is known for his military campaigns, particularly his successful conquest of Wales, which he brought under English rule. He also made significant legal reforms, including the creation of the Statute of Gloucester and the issuance of the Model Parliament. Despite his achievements, Edward I faced challenges during his reign, including rebellions in Scotland and Wales, as well as conflicts with the Church. He died in 1307, leaving a complex legacy that continues to shape the history of England. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life and reign of one of England's most intriguing monarchs. The intricate details of the armor and the regal bearing of Edward I transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur and majesty of medieval royalty.
