In this biographical video we focus on the earlier years of the future Hammer of the Scots, Edward Longshanks.

Covered within are the turbulent years of the Second Barons' War, which saw the rise of Simon de Montfort, the Provisions of Oxford, as well as the Battles of Lewes (1264 AD) and Evesham (1265 AD).

Then we chart Edward's crusade to the Holy Land and his uphill struggle against Baibars, which culminated with the infamous attempt on his life in the June of 1272.
