Description
Part of the Twelve English Statesmen series, this biography of Edward the First, whose reign spanned the years from 1272 to 1307, examines the king's life and actions--including restoring royal authority after the troubled reign of Henry III, establishing parliament as a permanent institution, reforming the law through statutes, and his brutal conduct toward the Scots.Tags

3688. Edward the First, by T. F. Tout (read 28 Jan 2003) This is a 1893 book (the copy I read was published in 1913). I sort of have a project to read a biography of every English sovereign and this was of one I had not read. It is written in the grand style of Macaulay, and I enjoyed every page. Though there are no footnotes nor bibliography the text breathes easy authority with the great events of the time (1239-1307). Good reading indeed.
