The first King to rule both England & Wales. He conquered large parts of Wales and almost succeeded in doing the same to Scotland. As regnal post-nominal numbers were a Norman (as opposed to Anglo-Saxon) custom, Edward Longshanks is known as Edward I, even though he is the fourth King Edward, following Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr, and Edward the Confessor.
