Edward, son of Henry III King of England & his wife Alíenor de Provence. He was installed as Duke of Gascony in 1252, after the territory was subdued by Simón de Montfort. Created Earl of Chester 14 Feb 1254. Taken prisoner with his father at the battle of Lewes 14 May 1264 by the rebel Barons under Simón de Montfort, he managed to escape 26 May. As a means of making peace, he delivered the Earldom of Chester to Simón de Montfort 24 Dec 1264, though it was restored to him after the battle of Evesham 4 Aug 1265.
He left England in summer 1270 intending to join Louis IX King of France in Tunisia. On learning of the King's death on his arrival in Africa, Edward wintered in Sicily with King Charles and the following spring sailed for Palestine, landing at Acre 9 May 1271, but he had insufficient resources to make any headway against the Mameluk Sultan Baibars and signed a peace agreement with the Sultan at Caesarea 22 May 1272. An attempt was made on his life 16 Jun 1272 when an Assassin stabbed him with a poisoned dagger, the after effects of which left Edward seriously ill for several months, and left Acre for England 22 Sep 1272. He succeeded his father in 1272 as Edward I "Longshanks" King of England, when he was in Sicily returning from the Crusade. He arrived back in England in Aug 1274, and was crowned 19 Aug 1274 at Westminster Abbey. A strong king he increased the power of the crown during his reign at the expense of the Barons, probably setting the scene for the problems faced by his weaker son Edward II.
Edward married Leonor Fernández de Castilla, daughter of Ferdinand III "el Santo" (The Saint) Alfonsez Rey de Castilla & Léon and Jeanne de Dammartin Comtesse d' Ponthieu, on 18 Oct 1254 in Abbey of Las Huelgas, Burgos, Castile 160.,529 (Leonor Fernández de Castilla was born about 1244 in Castille, España, Iberia, died on 28 Nov 1290 in Hardely, Lincolnshire, England 1078 and was buried on 16 Dec 1290 in Westminster Abbey, London, England.)
Edward next married Marguarite Capet Princessa de France, daughter of Phillippe III "le Hardi" Capet Roi des Francs and Marie de Brabant. 160 (Marguarite Capet Princessa de France was born in 1275 in Marlborough Castle, Wiltshire, England, died on 14 Feb 1318 and was buried in Grey Friars, London, Middlesex, England.)
