Product Information

Even though as many as fourteen claimants put forward their claims to the title, the foremost competitors were John Balliol and Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale. [158] The Scottish magnates made a request to Edward to conduct the proceedings and administer the outcome, but not to arbitrate in the dispute. The actual decision would be made by 104 auditors–40 appointed by Balliol, 40 by Brus and the remaining 24 selected by Edward from senior members of the Scottish political community. [159] At Birgham, with the prospect of a personal union between the two realms, the question of suzerainty had not been of great importance to Edward. Now he insisted that, if he were to settle the contest, he had to be fully recognised as Scotland's feudal overlord. [160] The Scots were reluctant to make such a concession, and replied that since the country had no king, no one had the authority to make this decision. [161] This problem was circumvented when the competitors agreed that the realm would be handed over to Edward until a rightful heir had been found. [162] After a lengthy hearing, a decision was made in favour of John Balliol on 17November 1292.

[111] English law was introduced in criminal cases, though the Welsh were allowed to maintain their own customary laws in some cases of property disputes. [112] After 1277, and increasingly after 1283, Edward embarked on a project of English settlement of Wales, creating new towns like Flint, Aberystwyth and Rhuddlan. [113] Their new residents were English migrants, the local Welsh being banned from living inside them, and many were protected by extensive walls. [114]

As St. Matthew was writing only for Jews, and they, by reason of their Old Testament prophecies, looked for the Messiah to be born of a certain family, he begins his Gospel with a pedigree of Jesus. In this he mentions, by way of introduction, the two points to which his countrymen would have special regard - the descent of Jesus from David, the founder of the royal line, him in whose descendants the Ruler of Israel must necessarily ( 2 Samuel 7:13-16) be looked for; and also from Abraham, who was the head of the covenant nation, and to whom the promise had been given that in his seed all the nations of the earth should bless themselves ( Genesis 22:18; Genesis 12:3). After this he proceeds to fill up the intervening steps in the genealogy. The spelling of the names in the Authorized Version accords with the Greek, and so varies from the Old Testament orthography; but for the sake of the English reader it is certainly advisable to do what has been done in the Revised Version, viz. to conform the spelling to that of the Old Testament, and, where the Greek Further information: Franco-Mongol alliance and Europeans in Medieval China §Diplomatic missions to Europe EdwardI (right) giving homage to PhilipIV of France (left).
