King Edward I was respected by the people for his good government,
practical wisdom, and genuine concern for justice for everyone. He
loved his people and wanted them to love him. He came to the
throne with twenty years experience governing lesser lands on the
continent which were given to him by his father Henry III. He
spoke Latin, English, and French. He gained a reputation as a
lawgiver and as a peacemaker in disputes on the continent. His
reputation was so high and agreement on him as the next king so
strong that England was peaceful in the almost two years that it
took him to arrive there from continental business. He was
truthful, law-abiding, and kept his word. He had close and solid
family relationships, especially with his father and with his wife
Eleanor, to whom he was faithful. He was loyal to his close circle
of good friends. He valued honor and adhered reasonably well to
the terms of the treaties he made.
