The Battle of Dunbar (1296)
During the English invasion of Scotland in 1296, Edward sent his lieutenant John De Warrene, Earl of Surrey, to recapture Dunbar castle on the route to Edinburgh.
In response, King John Balliol despatched his own small force of knights, under John Comyn, to contest the siege. The confrontation that followed was the decisive battle of the invasion...

The Battle of Orewin Bridge (1282)
1282 was a year of disaster for the last native Prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffyd. Following his severe defeat in 1277-8, he was confined to the north-western ancestral territories of Gwynedd, with his traitorous brother having been gifted two of the Four Cantrefs to his east...
Dafydd, unhappy with his lands, rebelled in 1282, eventually sucking in his brother. However, as the rebellion of 1282 lengthened, Llewelyn's position became untenable: kettled into Gwynedd and facing imminent invasion from multiple directions, he managed to beat back an attack across a bridge from Luke De Tany's 2000-strong army in Anglesey...
Using this lull in the hostilities, Llywelyn struck southwards to open up another front in Middle Wales, however, his army was met with a considerable Coalition force of Marcher Lords and Powys men at the Orewin Bridge...

Edward Longshanks' Conquest of Wales (1282)
Following his victory over Llywelyn ap Gruffud in 1277, King Edward Longshanks consolidated his gains through the Treaty of Aberconwy in which the Prince was restricted to the north-west corner of the land, with his trecherous brother Daffyd ap Gruffud receiving lands to the east...
However, Dafydd was not content with the spoils and still coveted what he saw as his fair share of the ancestral lands in Gwynedd. In 1282, Daffyd made his move, sparking copycat attacks all over Wales that would descend into all out war for the future of Wales...

War in Wales: 1267-1277
The Conquest of Wales by King Edward I is generally split into two periods, with the first in 1277 and the second in 1282, however, warfare was already an ongoing daily reality in Wales during its so-called "golden age" under Prince Llwelyn's control.
In this video, I detail the causes of the 1277 conflict involving the King himself, as well as the private conflicts that began the process of Llywelyn's tragic fall and the conquest of Gwynedd...

Edward Longshanks' Crusade
Following his victory over Simon De Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, Prince Edward Longshanks spent the next couple of years cleaning up scattered resistance from the defeated Montfortians, however, following the conclusions of the Second Barons War Edward wanted to thank God for his victory by taking the cross.
Unlike his father Henry, Edward kept his vow to go on Crusade, under the leadership of King Louis IX of France. However, with Louis' death in 1270 outside of Tunis in North Africa, Edward headed east to the Holy Land as the leader of his own Crusade...

The Dictum of Kenilworth
Despite the Royal victory at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, the Second Barons' War lingered on until 1267, but why?
Not all Montfortians that believed in the Provisions of Oxford fell at Evesham, many fought on around the Kingdom, particularly at Kenilworth castle, the seat of the late Simon De Montfort himself...

The Provisions of Oxford (1258)
After years of corruption at the local level, foreigners gaining influence and favours at court and King Henry's financial demands, a group of disgruntled barons, led by Simon de Montfort, finally confront King Henry III in 1258 to demand radical reform of how the realm is ruled...
The resultant Provisions of Oxford were revolutionary for the time and arguably just as important as the earlier Magna Carta (of 1215), however, King Henry and especially his son and heir Prince Edward, will not give up their ancient rights and powers without a fight...

The Curious Naming of Edward Longshanks
Following 1066 and the ascension of William the Conqueror as King, the monarchs and nobles of England were decidedly "French," which begs the question as to why (after 173 years) would the (culturally French) King Henry III name his son "Edward" in 1239, an old Anglo-Saxon name?
In addition, Prince Edward, later known as Longshanks (due to his height), is also reckoned "the first" of his name, despite other "Edwards" coming before. In this video I explore these questions as the first of a series on the life, times and reign of King Edward Longshanks...

William the Conqueror Defeated at the Siege of Gerberoy (1079 AD)
It's been over ten years since his greatest victory at the Battle of Hastings, but King William the Conqueror is far from his best. Once known as the iron arm, with a matching iron will, William had only recently seen off a conspiracy to dethrone him in 1075, but now enters an era of defeats, with the last at the Siege of Gerberoy (1078-9 AD) being particularly humiliating...

Gytha's Rebellion
Following his troubled coronation on Christmas Day 1066, King William was under no illusion that his reign would be peaceful and did not have long to wait for a series of rebellions to ensue...
Most notable among these was the 1068 defiance of the city of Exeter, led by the mother of William's nemesis at Hastings, the late King Harold Godwinson!

William the Conqueror's Christmas Coronation
Following his victory over Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, William may have hoped for a swift submission of the remaining English magnates, however, his kingship was far from secure.
Having elected the child Edgar Atheling to the kingship, William cut a swathe through south-east England en route to London itself. After terrorising the inhabitants into accepting him as king, William was crowned on Christmas Day, 1066...
But if the English hoped this day would be the starting point of a peaceful reign, they would be shocked...

The Battle of Stamford Bridge
It's 25th September, 1066 AD and the legendary King of Norway Harald Hardrada waits for hostages to submit to him, following his recent victory over a small English army at the Battle of Fulford, however, it is not a forlorn group of hostages that his men can see approaching them near Stamford Bridge, but an angry royal army under the King of England Harold Godwinson...

The Battle of Fulford
Having invaded England from the North and attacked the Northumbrian coast, King Harald Hardrada and his ally Tostig, the brother of the English king Harold Godwinson, met an English force commanded by the brothers Edwin and Morcar at a place called Fulford...
The date is September 20th, 1066 and the first of three great battles to determine who rules England is about to begin!

Harald Hardrada
In the autumn of 1066 AD, King Harold Godwinson, the new King of England guarded the southern coast in anticipation of a Norman invasion, led by William, Duke of Normandy, to claim his crown...
...but unknown to him, another great pretender to his throne had landed far north, the awesome Viking and King of Norway Harald Hardrada. But who was the man behind the last great Viking invasion of England?

Harold's Oath To William
Did Harold Godwinson, the man who seized the English throne in January 1066 really swear and oath to Duke William of Normandy to help William become king when Edward the Confessor died?
Was the oath important? Did it happen? Even if it did was Harold right to seize the throne rather than help William? In this talk, I consider these questions and the story behind the famous oath and Harold's tragic trip to Normandy in 1064...
