King Edward I: Why Was He Such a Tyrant?

King Edward I: Why Was He Such a Tyrant?

Edward I dreamed big—perhaps too big. While remembered for his brutal campaigns in Wales and Scotland, Edward also longed to take the fight to France, only to be repeatedly pulled back by crises closer to home.

Joined by Matthew Lewis, we examine how Edward’s crusading experience in the Holy Land, his views on conquest and treason, and his willingness to use extreme punishments shaped his reign. Together, we ask whether Edward’s reputation as a tyrant reflects cruelty—or a king trapped between imperial ambition and domestic rebellion.
