Edward the First

Gelesen von Pamela Nagami

(4,55 Sterne; 10 Bewertungen)

Edward I of England (1239-1307) will always be remembered as the "Hammer of the Scots" who condemned William Wallace (Braveheart) to a traitor's death in 1297. But Edward was one of England's greatest statesman-kings. In this short biography the British historian, Thomas Frederick Tout writes of Edward that he was "a man of unusual and commanding height," lean and powerful, who, despite a slight stammer, was able to "speak with a simple and natural eloquence that often moved his susceptible auditors to tears." Edward conquered Wales, reformed the legal and judicial systems of England, curbed the power of the church, and through conquest and diplomacy managed to subdue the ambitions of the wily French King, Philip the Fair.

A MAN OUT OF TIME

(5 Sterne)

A fine description of the reign of one of the greatest of English monarchs. His ideas were a bit too early for continued success, but he did accomplish much in the national feelings that saved and served the little island so well. PM always is superlative.

A great book about a great King.

(4 Sterne)

A very well written history of one of England's greatest monarchs. This book is beautifully read by Pamela Nagami.
