{"product_id":"2940148467243","title":"King Edward I - A Short Biography","description":"A short biography of King Edward I of England. His contributions to the development of the law, parliament and a functioning system of taxation, as well as his military exploits, stand out in particular. At the same time, he left a legacy of financial difficulties, political distrust and an unresolved situation in Scotland. The roots of the disasters of the reign of Edward II can be found in the reign of Edward I.Some contemporary writers have been more willing to criticise Edward for his failings, particularly his severe treatment of the Jews. There is also a great difference between English and Scottish historiography on King Edward. G. W. S. Barrow, in his biography on Robert the Bruce, accused Edward of ruthlessly exploiting the leaderless state of Scotland to obtain a feudal superiority over the kingdom.This view of Edward is reflected in the popular perception of the king, as can be seen in the 1995 movie Braveheart's portrayal of the king as a hard-hearted tyrant.","brand":"Shamrock Eden Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079027179760,"sku":"2940148467243","price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148467243_p0.jpg?v=1763703284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148467243","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
