Description
This map depicts England towards the end of the 13th century, during the reign of Edward I 'Longshanks'. Edward I rose to power during a baronial reform movement that lead to the Second Barons' War, during which he was taken hostage, escaped, and defeated Simon de Montfort, becoming king upon the death of his father in 1274. Edward's rein is famous for reforming royal administration and the securing of his realm. Between 1282 and 83, Edward conducted a conquest of Wales during which he placed all of Wales under England's control with the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284. After the conquest was complete, Edward turned his attention to Scotland, conducting the Scottish Wars of Independence during which he successfully occupied the country to assert full control over Britain. Edward was a brutal and evil ruler, issuing the Edict of Expulsion in 1290 and failing to compromise with nobility to prevent revolts that ripped apart his kingdom in the reigns following his death.

This map was created using a wide variety of sources, including topographical data from Paragon World Atlas (1962), medieval counties, bishoprics and county palatines from Atlas of Medieval Europe (1982), Welsh lordships and internal divisions from An Historical Atlas of Wales (1972) and road information from the Gough Map and Matthew Paris' maps of Britain (taken from The Transport System of Medieval England and Wales - A Geographical Synthesis (1987)). The coat of arms comes from WappenWiki (wappenwiki.org/ ) (Retrieved: 10/04/2019).
