Publisher's Synopsis
Known to posterity as Scottorum Malleus û the Hammer of the Scots û Edward I was one of medieval EnglandÆs most formidable kings. This book offers a fresh interpretation of EdwardÆs military career, within the context of his Scottish wars. In part this is a study of personality: Edward was an extraordinary man. His struggles with tenacious opponents û including Robert the Bruce and William Wallace û have become the stuff of legend. But David Santiuste also considers the wider impact of EdwardÆs campaigns: he describes the effects on people at all levels of society, providing a compelling portrait of the British Isles at war.. - -
