	History of the Monarchy > The Plantagenets > Edward I
		Edward's parents were renowned for their patronage of the arts (his mother, Eleanor of Provence, encouraged Henry III to spend money on the arts, which included the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey and a still-extant magnificent shrine to house the body of Edward the Confessor).
		Edward used his royal authority to establish the rights of the Crown at the expense of traditional feudal privileges, to promote the uniform administration of justice, to raise income to meet the costs of war and government, and to codify the legal system.
		For Edward, this dynastic blow was made worse by the death in the same year of his much-loved wife Eleanor (her body was ceremonially carried from Lincoln to Westminster for burial, and a memorial cross erected at every one of the twelve resting places, including what became known as Charing Cross in London).

	Great Tom of Westminster
		For this action he was himself fined 800 marks by Edward I. The money paid was used between 1288 and 1290 to erect a tower containing a clock and bell, which struck the hour to remind the judges who sat in the adjacent courts of Westminster Hall of the offence of one of their predecessors.
		Edward of Westminster is otherwise unknown as a bell-founder, and it seems likely that he may simply have been the contractor who put the work in hand.
		However, as St Edward is genitive and the grace/beauty is ablative, the second line may have been intended as a pun with the alternative inference ‘So that the hours of St Edward [presumably the Confessor, but possibly Edward of Westminster the original contractor] may be marked with grace/beauty’.

	Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of October 13 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Edward was the son of Ethelbert the Unready (or Ethelred III), king of the English, and Emma, sister of Duke Richard I of Normandy.
		Edward's reign was outwardly peaceful and he was a peace-loving man; but he had to contend with the ambitious and powerful Godwin's opposition and other grave difficulties (rivalry between Norman and Saxon courtiers), and he did so with a determination that hardly supports the common picture of Edward as a tame and ineffectual ruler.
		The belief that Edward was a saint was supported by his general reputation for religious devotion and for generosity to the poor and infirm, by the relation of a number of miracles and, too, by the assertion that he and his wife were so ascetic as always to have lived together as brother and sister.
