Description

In this unit, pupils learn about Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales and Scotland and bring both under English rule. They will analyse the reasons why Edward was unable to achieve his aim.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' knowledge of medieval politics in Britain and Europe that they developed in previous key stage 3 units about Henry II and Magna Carta. It enriches pupils' existing understanding of England's relationship with her neighbours that was first developed in key stage 1. This unit prepares pupils for future units when the separate nature of England and Scotland is referenced.
