This moves along quickly and fully attempts to keep up with complicated politics ...yet🤔
This is just not long enough to cover my gap in knowledge about this time period.
As much as I dread it I think I'm gonna have to try Marc Morris' biography of Edward I🤷🏾♀️

The weakest of the series so far.
I’ve been reading them in chronological order. Most of the series gives us a clear framework for understanding actions and policies. The first half of this book is just One Damned Thing After Another. Analysis is left late, if offered at all. And too much if it feels like the evenhandedness of an A level essay, full of qualifications and contradictions.

Edward I is a king of legends. He did so much and is just so engrained in the cultural history of what he did for England. In a sense, he's like Henry V in my mind. Just one of those men who did a lot. And this book reflects that. With his reign, there was just so much to cover, so King decided to pick out the things that he found important. That's fine by me, really. It didn't feel overwhelming to read about him and, like the other ones, I plan on going on to read more about him in the future.
