EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward I, also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots, is depicted in this stunning portrait print. Born on June 17, 1239, Edward was the eldest son of Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence. He ascended to the throne in 1272, following his father's death, and ruled until his own passing in 1307. Edward I is most famously known for his military campaigns against Scotland, which earned him the moniker "Hammer of the Scots." He sought to assert English dominance over the rebellious Scottish kingdom, leading to several invasions and conflicts. However, his reign was not limited to Scotland alone. Edward I also made significant strides in the administration of England, implementing legal and political reforms that strengthened the monarchy and centralized power. This portrait print showcases Edward I in his regal attire, wearing the royal robes and holding the Great Seal of England. The Great Seal, an essential symbol of the monarchy, was used to authenticate official documents and decrees. Edward I's seal bears the image of the lion and the unicorn, which would later become the emblem of England. The intricate details of the print capture the essence of Edward I's reign, showcasing his strength, authority, and commitment to the British crown. The portrait serves as a testament to the rich history of the British monarchy and the enduring legacy of Edward I as a formidable and influential sovereign.
