In the first of three videos on the history of the life and reign of King Edward I, we look at the early life of Edward Longshanks, whilst merely a prince and the heir to the throne of his father Henry III. Edward would learn lots of harsh lessons in his youth and early adulthood as he battled childhood illnesses, survived being crushed in a bizarre incident whilst playing chess, became a captive of Simon De Montfort and survived an assassination attempt whilst away on Crusade. These events, as well as Edward helping his father Henry cling on to power, would help shape Edward into becoming one of England's great warrior kings and one of Europe's most fearsome medieval rulers.
