1283年10月，爱德华一世站在一个独特的位置。他实现了一个目标，这是他的前任们在征服威尔士时所没有实现的：征服威尔士。六年前，他开始了军事行动，以维护他的霸主地位，但现在他的统治是最终的。这本身是独一无二的，但这一事件有一个更重要的方面。威尔士王子达维德·阿普·格鲁福德被捕并被监禁在伦敦，这标志着英国的接管。接着他被判叛国罪，之后他被判处绞刑，拔出和四分之一;这是国家历史上第一次残酷的惩罚，这表明没有叛徒的生命值得被赦免，高尚与否。对英格兰和爱德华来说，这是与过去的决裂。这就是对爱德华一世的评价，马克·莫里斯在书中称他为“一个强大而可怕的国王”。
In October 1283, Edward I stood in a unique position. He had achieved a goal which had eluded his predecessors back to the time of the Conquest: the subjection of Wales. His military campaigns to assert his overlordship had begun six years previously, but now his dominance was final. This in itself was unique, but the episode had a more significant aspect. The take-over was sealed by the capture of the Welsh prince Dafydd ap Gruffudd and his imprisonment in London. Then followed his trial for treason, after which he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered; this brutal punishment was exacted for the first time in the nation’s history, a sign that no traitor’s life was worthy to be spared, noble or not. This was a break with the past for England and for Edward. Such was the measure of the man. Edward I was, in the title of Marc Morris’s book, ‘a mighty and terrible king’.
