書籍簡介

這是一代真正令人敬畏的國王的第一部重要傳記。 愛德華一世以“長腿”聞名於世，他是蘇格蘭的征服者，也是威廉·華萊士爵士(《勇敢的心》)的宿敵。 愛德華生來就是要統治英格蘭的，但他認為自己有權統治整個英國。 他的統治是整個中世紀z具戲劇性的時期之一，導致了空前規模的戰爭和征服，並留下了從他的時代一直延續到我們現在的分裂遺產。  

在他令人震驚的充滿激情的一生中，愛德華在戰鬥中打敗並殺死了著名的西蒙·德·孟福爾; 在十字軍東征中穿越歐洲來到聖地; 征服了威爾士，永遠消滅了當地的統治者，並在康威、哈勒克、博馬里斯和卡那封建造了有史以來最宏偉的城堡鏈。 在他的di一任妻子去世後，他建立了埃莉諾十字架——有史以來為英國君主建造的最宏偉的葬禮紀念碑。  

This is the first major biography for a generation of a truly formidable king. Edward I is familiar to millions as 'Longshanks', conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace ('Braveheart'). Edward was born to rule England, but believed that it was his right to rule all of Britain. His reign was one of the most dramatic of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and leaving a legacy of division that has lasted from his day to our own.

In his astonishingly action-packed life, Edward defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; travelled across Europe to the Holy Land on crusade; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructed - at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon - the most magnificent chain of castles ever created. After the death of his first wife he erected the Eleanor Crosses - the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch.

莫里斯流利地講述了愛德華的故事，傳達了一種令人信服的現實，以及個人統治的偶然性…… 在“打造英國”這個主題上，莫里斯始終是最發人深省的《衞報》  

Morris tells Edward's story fluently and conveys a compelling sense of the reality, and the contingency, of personal rule... It is on the subject of "the forging of Britain" that Morris is most consistently thought-provoking * Guardian *
