They halted at two places in London, at Cheapside &#8211; the cross here was pulled down in 1643 but you can see parts of it in the Museum of London, and the place now known as\u00a0 Charing Cross.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The cross that currently stands in the forecourt of Charing Cross Station is a Victorian copy (the original cross stood at the end of Whitehall at the spot where the statue of Charles I on horseback now stands). Charing Cross was the spot from where distances from London were measured, so when you drive down the Motorway and it says London 50 miles, that is the distance from the spot where Edward I&#8217;s wife&#8217;s funeral procession paused. You can still see one of the original Eleanor Crosses at Waltham Cross just outside London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In 1296 Edward took advantage of the succession crisis in Scotland to install a puppet ruler in John de Baliol, and then launch a full invasion of Scotland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward&#8217;s army seized the Stone of Destiny &#8211; the stone on which Scottish Kings had been crowned for hundreds of years, and incorporated it into a Coronation throne in Westminster Abbey. You can still see Edward&#8217;s throne, but the Stone of Destiny (also known as the Stone of Scone) was returned to Scotland in 1996.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5452\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5452\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5452\" class=\"wp-image-5452 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"William Wallace memorial\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765.jpg 225w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765.jpg 1612w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SAM_2765.jpg 2418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">William Wallace memorial at Smithfields<br \/><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">After a year of English occupation the Scots rebelled under William Wallace, and although events were nothing like they were told in the film Braveheart, Wallace was captured, taken to London and hung drawn and quartered. The spot in Smithfield is marked by a memorial that still receives regular floral tributes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward I is famous for putting Magna Carta on his statute books making it law, including the clause confirming all the City of London\u2019s rights and liberties and customs. But he wasn\u2019t always so favourably inclined towards the City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In 1285 the now King Edward had another Mayor, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Gregory de Rokesley <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">imprisoned in the Tower, who objected to being summoned to the Tower without the notice traditionally given <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">(Traitor&#8217;s Gate is another addition to the Tower of London built during Edward I&#8217;s time)<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">He handed back his seal of office and attended as a private citizen, Edward had him duly arrested and installed Ralph de Sandwich as Royal Warden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Of course, in 1297 when Edward made Magna Carta and granted all those rights of the City law he needed money for his war chest. This copy of the Magna Carta is kept at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityoflondon.gov.uk\/things-to-do\/visit-the-city\/attractions\/guildhall-galleries\/Pages\/Heritage-Gallery.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Guildhall Art Gallery<\/a> and is occasionally on display in their heritage gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5453\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/houghton-window-ely-place.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5453\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5453\" class=\"wp-image-5453 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/houghton-window-ely-place-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Houghton Window at St Ethelredas \" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/houghton-window-ely-place.jpg 225w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/houghton-window-ely-place.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">The Houghton Window at St Ethelredas<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Surviving buildings from Edward I&#8217;s reign include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stetheldreda.com\/index.php\/visiting-st-etheldredas\/\" target=\"_blank\">St Etheldreda&#8217;s in Ely Place<\/a>, now part of a row of offices, but which when built was part of the Bishop of Ely&#8217;s palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">As bishops had to sit in parliament they usually kept a London residence, and the Bishop of Ely&#8217;s palace was outside the jurisdiction of the City. For this reason, until 1965\u00a0the street was part of Cambridgeshire, and business in the street still occasionally get mail addressed to Ely Place, Holborn,\u00a0Cambridgeshire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">St Ethelreda&#8217;s is well worth a visit &#8211; it has many historical connections and some stunning modern stained glass windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In 1306 Robert the Bruce, formerly an English ally, declared himself King\u00a0of an independent Scotland and Edward headed North again for one last brutal campaign against the Scots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In 1307 he fell ill and died of dysentery. His body was taken south where it was\u00a0placed in a simple sarcophagus in Westminster Abbey &#8211; where you can still see it today. In 1774\u00a0his tomb was opened by the Society of Antiquaries to reveal a Purbeck marble coffin in which lay the King wrapped in a waxed linen cloth, his face being covered by crimson face cloth. Below this the King wore his royal robes, holding a rod and sceptre and wearing a crown on this head. Below these robes there was a closely fitting wax cloth. He was found to be 6&#8242; 2&#8243; tall: hence his nickname\u00a0<em>Longshanks<\/em>.\u00a0 William Blake attended the opening and sketched the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward I&#8217;s 32 years on the throne are characterised by brutal wars against Scotland and Wales and oppression of Jewish people, so perhaps its no great surprise that he doesn&#8217;t have a pub named after him. If you want to drink his health you can visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegreyhoundinn-burgh.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Greyhound Inn<\/a> in Burgh by Sands near Carlisle which is where he died.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In London, if you are entering the branch of Byron in High Holborn opposite the tube station, look up. On the left of the building is a statue of Edward I erected in 1902 to commemorate his much more peaceful namesake Edward VII who is on the right.
