'Italic text'Italic textEdward I King of England was a mighty warrior who campaigned in Scotland, which earned him the nickname of Hammer of the Scots and Longshanks. He was married to Eleanor of Castille whom he loved very dearly, and this was proved when the Lady Eleanor died. Edward had crosses put in the ground all along the road leading to her final resting place. These became known as The Elaenor crosses and one or two might even still be there, as most of them have been replaced and replicas put in place of them. Edward also had the Jewish communities expelled from England, and expelled they were, for a few hundred years. He was a mighty warrior king with great military and strategic wisdom.He has a large place in medieval history and had it not been forThe first son of Henry III, Edward was involved early in the political intrigues of his father's reign, which included an outright rebellion by the English barons. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the Provisions of Oxford. After reconciliation with his father, however, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the Second Barons' War. After the Battle of Lewes, Edward was hostage to the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and joined the fight against Simon de Montfort. Montfort was defeated at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and within two years the rebellion was extinguished. With England pacified, Edward joined the Ninth Crusade to the Holy Land. The crusade accomplished little, and Edward was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed that his father had died. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and was crowned at Westminster on 19 August. Queen Margaret having drowned on her journey to Scotland things could have been quite different. Margaret was to marry King Malcom of Scotland and through this marriage the full of Britain could have been united way back some 300 years before it did. So the Empire of Great Britain could have been established and we probably would be even more knowledgeable about life as we know it today.There are of course people today, especially in Scotland who would rather not be connected to the other great countries in Great Britain, these people are a group who call themselves snp and are very detestable people. After a referendum for the people of Scotland to have their say as to stay in the United Kingdom UK, it was clear that the majority voted to stay with the UK, but the snp are sorry losers and due to their nasty attitude they lost a third of their support in the early General Election of 2017 and they are still creating unrest and division in an already divided country. Scotland is divided by religion as Protestants and Roman Catholics is still rife, but now we also have the Nasty Party and their deluded supporters who hate England and the English which is creating more division and their ultimate hatred or jealousy of the good English people. It is beyond my logic of thinking the way these nationalists have a deep contempt for their English brothers and sisters, but whenever I have confronted them about their hatred they usually deny this.Finding them to be very nasty and even dangerous, I now choose to stay clear of them altogether, especially after two of my fellow No Thanks friends who are both members of Parliament were attacked in Lanarkshire. King Edward I had a torrid time with the Scottish warriors and believed that it was his kingly duty to take the land. It's my opinion that if the uniting of Britain had taken place at this point in time, the nation would be a much stronger one than it is today. There is even talk going about regarding ending the monarchy and leader of the opposition, Labour leader Corbyn, I believe would do this at the drop of a hat if he could. So this is why we must never let that dangerous individual into power as he surely is a traitor to Great Britain and Christendom, this has been proven by his words alone, but he has also publicly attended the funerals of leading IRA members who were known to have played active parts in the troubles of Ulster. King Edward would have had traitors like him and his looney supporters swiftly dealt with and harshly so.So I would certainly agree with some historians and say that this king really was doing his kingly duty to take lands he assumed were rightfully his.

--Walt 15:58, 19 July 2017 (UTC)== King Richard The Lionheart ==  Succeeding his father,RichardI immediately went on Crusade, leaving others to rule England, and he took over the 3rd crusade after Philippe II''' left. He defeated Saladin, the warrior in charge of the muslim hoardes, at the siege of Acre, the battle of Arsuf and Jaffa and although he did not succeed to capture Jerusalem from the infidels, he became known as the Lionheart. Although Richard concluded the Treaty of Jaffa in 1192, he was suspected of assassinating King Konrad of Jerusalem and was taken prisoner by the king of Austria Leopold V. He was handed over to Emperor Henry VI in 1193, and while Philippe of France failed to seize Richard's possessions,Queen Eleanor stopped Richard's brother John invading '''England. Richard''' was released when a large ransom was paid. Philippe warned everyone,[look after yourselves], the Devil is loosed, and John fled back to the French Court. Richard was re-crowned and he recovered all of his lands before dying while fighting a rebellious Baron in France in 1199. The Lionheart spoke no English, and had spent only a few months in England and left no heir. But this great warrior King has been the source of Hollywood movies, factual and fictional books, stories and a legacy which will go on for many years to come, in E'''ngland,France and America as the whole world.

King Richard III
Richard II. The name will conjure up an image for any reader: Shakespeare's hunchback tyrant who killed his own nephews or a long-denigrated, misunderstood king. This one man's character and actions have divided historians and the controversy has always kept interest in Richard alive. However, curiosity surrounding his life and death has reached unprecedented heights in the aftermath of the discovery of his skeleton under a Leicester car park. The myths that have always swirled around Richard III have risen and multiplied and it is time to set the record straight. These are the preface words of the author John Ashdown Hill from his great book The Mythology of Richard III, Ashdown Hill himself being one of the people who recovered the king's body. Hill is also a member of the Richard II Society and a great historian who knows a great deal about this famous English King.

The Albegensian Crusade
Pope Innocent III reigned from 1161 AD to 1216 AD, he claimed that these Cathar groups, however small had to be exterminated in order to preserve the catholic Church. He ordered an edict that all such believers were to be exterminated. A Crusade was formed, which became very popular with the warriors of France. These Crusaders would have been happy knowing that their souls would go to Heaven, and they did not need to travel all the way to the Holy Land. Year after year, from 1209 to 1229. So for about 20 years, this Crusade was waged against the Albigensians. The order of kill them all, the Lord will know his own, was the message given by the pope. All were cut down, even people people taking refuge in the Church. The population of the city of Bezires was around 15.000, but on that day, that fateful day it has been estimated that around 60.000 people were here in the city, as many had come here to seek refuge. Not one person was left standing, and not one building was left either. Other towns and cities would fall as well, suffering the same brutal fate. News of the slaughter spread throughout Europe. But not all Albigensians were wiped out, small pockets of them did remain over the centuries. Cathars were dualists, which meant they had a belief in two Gods, the God who ruled the Earth who was not good at all, and the God who ruled the spirit world who was the opposite, a good and kind God. These people did not eat meat, which in those days would have been pretty hard to do, although they did eat fish. Did not beieve in many of the Catholic Church's ways. There's a persistent story that during the Albigensian Crusade when the crusaders were besieging a town that contained a population of both heretics and Christians, the knights asked the Abbot how they should tell who was a heretic and who was Christian. Amalric supposedly replied: "Kill them all, the Lord will know his own". After Pope Innocent III had declared a crusade to eliminate Catharism in the Languedoc, a crusader army consisting of knights with their retinue (mostly from northern France), professional soldiers, mercenary bands (routiers), and pilgrims, assembled and departed from Lyon in early July 1209.[1] Béziers, a stronghold of Catharism, was the first major town the crusaders encountered on the way to Carcassonne. It was well fortified, amply supplied, and in a position to withstand a long siege. Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse was able to switch sides in time and joined the crusaders at Valence. The attempt by Raymond Roger Trencavel, viscount of Béziers, to peacefully submit was rejected at Montpellier. The viscount departed from Montpellier in a hurry, ahead of the crusader army, to prepare his defenses. On the way to Carcassonne, he stopped at Béziers, promising reinforcements, and taking along some Cathars and Jews.[1]
