A Great and Terrible King
Edward I and the Forging of Britain
conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructed - at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon - the most magnificent chain of castles ever created.
Major new biography of the formidable king, familiar to many as the nemesis of Sir William Wallace. His reign led to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and left a legacy of division that still lasts to this day. Morris is a rising talent for Channel 4, and a potential rival for Starkey and Schama.
