Episode 18
Part 1 of a series on all the King Edwards of English royal history post-1066.
I'm joined by Dr Andy King to talk about Edward I. Hailed as a warrior ruler by the English who brought stability back to England and conquered Wales and Scotland and cursed as an evil tyrant by others who killed William Wallace, Edward I has gone down in history as one of England's most controversial kings. Is this reputation deserved?
