Notes
- Edward was known as Longshanks, because he was a tall man for the age. He was called in to moderate a dispute among the Scots over theirroyal succession, and he used the occasion to assert his suzeraintyover the Scots. This led to a centuries-long animosity and militaryconflict.
He was married twice. To preclude an invasion of England's provinceof Gascony (The Basque area of the Pyrenees bordering Castile on theNorth), Edward's father Henry III married him to Eleanor of Castile,the half-sister of King Alfonso X of Castile.
