King Edward I ENGLAND. (Note: Edward I, nicknamed "Longshanks" due to his great height and stature, was perhaps the most successful of the medieval monarchs.

Edward fathered many children as well: sixteen by Eleanor of Castille before her death in 1290, and three more by Margaret.

Edward's involvement in Scotland had far reaching effects. After the death of the Scottish King Alexander III, Edward tried to insert himself as the a Scottish ruler. This led to William Wallace incited a rebellion in 1297, defeated the English army at Stirling, and harassed England's northern counties.

Robert Bruce, the grandson of a claimant to the throne in 1290, instigated another revolt in 1306 and would ultimately defeat the army of Edward II at Bannockburn.
