He marked the beginning of his reign with a series of tournaments, mainly held around London and the south-east. Here he presented himself at once as a knightly king, his court a centre of revelry and fun, romance and martial competition. ‘This king led a gay life in jousts and tournaments and entertaining ladies,’ wrote Sir Thomas Gray. - bblbrxцитує6 років томуWalter of Guisborough recounted their exchange:
‘“With you will I gladly go, O King, in front of you in the first line of battle as belongs to me by hereditary right,” he said.
‘“You will go without me too, with the others,” Edward replied.
‘“I am not bound, neither is it my will, O King, to march without you,” said the earl. Enraged, the king burst out, so it is said, with these words: “By God, O Earl, either you will go or you will hang!”

Further mass arrests and forced tallages continued during the 1280s. In 1283 Jews were excluded from the protection afforded to ordinary merchants, and in 1284 Archbishop Pecham issued a decree ordering that London synagogues should be destroyed except for one.
