This is a study of one of the most notable monarchs and greatest reigns of the English Middle Ages, during which Wales was conquered and Scotland brought close to subjugation, the legal and administrative systems were overhauled and Parliament came to occupy a new position in the realm. Professor Prestwich re-examines Edward and his reign in the light of the considerable quantity of surviving evidence, much of it still unprinted, to provide not only the life story of a remarkable king but also an analysis of a complex and significant era. This book will be of value and interest to scholars and general readers alike. Michael Prestwich is author of "war, politics and finance under Edward I" and "The Three Edwards: war and state in England 1272-1377".
