书籍简介

这是一代真正令人敬畏的国王的第一部重要传记。 爱德华一世以“长腿”闻名于世，他是苏格兰的征服者，也是威廉·华莱士爵士(《勇敢的心》)的宿敌。 爱德华生来就是要统治英格兰的，但他认为自己有权统治整个英国。 他的统治是整个中世纪z具戏剧性的时期之一，导致了空前规模的战争和征服，并留下了从他的时代一直延续到我们现在的分裂遗产。  

在他令人震惊的充满激情的一生中，爱德华在战斗中打败并杀死了著名的西蒙·德·孟福尔; 在十字军东征中穿越欧洲来到圣地; 征服了威尔士，永远消灭了当地的统治者，并在康威、哈勒克、博马里斯和卡那封建造了有史以来最宏伟的城堡链。 在他的di一任妻子去世后，他建立了埃莉诺十字架——有史以来为英国君主建造的最宏伟的葬礼纪念碑。  

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.

莫里斯流利地讲述了爱德华的故事，传达了一种令人信服的现实，以及个人统治的偶然性…… 在“打造英国”这个主题上，莫里斯始终是最发人深省的《卫报》  

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 *
