A History of Britain

18 Oct 200059 minTV-PG

Edward I is known by many as the villainous king in the Hollywood film Braveheart, who tried to force English rule on Scotland and Wales, but found the resultant slaughter only served to inspire bold declarations of independence. But as Simon Schama discovers, when the king was eventually forced to listen to the parliament of his own people, England would also learn what it meant to be a nation.
