Dear Kevin Feiller: Dear Kevin my name is Edward, I. I am writing to inform you about my life. So let me get started because I have a lot to tell you. Okay I was the first son of King Henry III who ruled England until 1216-1272. I was born in the year of 1239. I went to church three times each day. My dad forced me into marry Eleanor. She was the daughter of Alfonso X of Castile. This was the best part of the marriage he gave me the territory of Gascony which is located in southwestern France and large territories in Britain and Ireland. I was always interested in the Crusades and I joined them with king later saint Louis IX of France and took part in the eighth and last crusade. In 1272 signed a compromise treaty and before I was going home I was stabbed by an assassin wielding a poisoned dagger. When I went to Sicily to start jousting I learned that my father died. When I went back to England two years later I was crowned king in 1274. When I didn’t defeat Wales when I was younger so I decided to fight them again now that I am older. I went to war with Wales in 1277 and it ended around 1282 and I won. But when it came to Scotland it was a different story. They were hard and I died after we fought them. I started to look into this war around 1297. The war started in 1297 and ended in 1304 and we lost. I died in 1307 and my son Edward II took place of my position. This is what my life was like. I was very interesting and very thrilling with all the wars and all the adventures. I hope you learned a lot about me and that you liked my life story. Sincerely, Edward I
