role in the church. But through this there was conflict
between the Pope and the Kings or royalty.

This also meaning that there was more farmland to
be used, so more products and even more trade

government. Government Bureaucracy became a
main component.

third, after the death of his father in 1272
he was crowned king. He then
conquered Wales and parts of Scotland.
He went through struggles with rebellion
and the want and need for money.
 Edward also had an impact on legal
matters, such as enforcing the power of
kings and encouraging the justice within
the legal system.

Edward was also Duke of Gascony. He
married his second cousin to settle rights
involving Gascony.
He was also involved in the eighth
Crusade, which was only partly
successful because they pulled back
and gained trade with Tunis. But Edward
was not greatly involved in the eighth
Crusade.
