This detailed historical biography sheds new light on the thirteenth-century English King and military leader who waged war with Scotland.
Known to posterity as Scottorum Malleus—the Hammer of the Scots—Edward I was one of medieval England's most formidable rulers. In this meticulously researched new history, David Santiuste offers a fresh interpretation of Edward's military career, with a particular focus on his Scottish wars. The result is a revelatory portrait of a remarkable man whose struggles with tenacious opponents—including Robert the Bruce and William Wallace—have become the stuff of legend.
There is a clear and perceptive account of important military events, notably the Battle of Falkirk, but the narrative also encompasses the wider impact of Edward's campaigns. He attempted to mobilize resources—including men, money, and supplies—on an unprecedented scale. His wars affected people at all levels of society throughout the British Isles.
David Santiuste presents a vivid description of Edward's campaigns in Scotland, while also exploring their political background. Edward emerges as a man of great conviction, a commander and king who sought to bend Scotland to his will.
