Edward was born at the
Palace of Westminster
on the night of 17–18 June 1239, to King
Henry III
and
Eleanor of Provence
.
Although the young prince was seriously ill on several occasions, in 1246, 1247, and 1251, he grew up to be strong and healthy.
Edward was in the care of Hugh Giffard—father of the future
Chancellor
Godfrey Giffard
—until Bartholomew Pecche took over at Giffard's death in 1246. Among his childhood friends was his cousin
Henry of Almain
, son of King Henry's brother
Richard of Cornwall
. Henry of Almain would remain a close companion of the prince, both through the civil war that followed, and later during the crusade.

In 1254, English fears of a
Castilian
invasion of the English province of
Gascony
induced Edward's father to arrange a politically expedient marriage between his fourteen-year-old son and
Eleanor
, the half-sister of King
Alfonso X of Castile
. Eleanor and Edward were married on 1 November 1254 in the
Abbey of Santa María la Real de Las Huelgas
in Castile. As part of the marriage agreement, the young prince received grants of land worth 15,000
marks
a year. Though the endowments King Henry made were sizeable, they offered Edward little independence. He had already received Gascony as early as 1249, but
Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester
, had been appointed as royal lieutenant the year before and, consequently, drew its income, so in practice Edward derived neither authority nor revenue from this province.
[
The grant he received in 1254 included most of Ireland, and much land in Wales and England, including the
earldom of Chester
, but the king retained much control over the land in question, particularly in Ireland, so Edward's power was limited there as well, and the king derived most of the income from those lands.
From 1254 to 1257, Edward was under the influence of his mother's relatives, known as the Savoyards,the most notable of whom was
Peter of Savoy
, the queen's uncle. After 1257, Edward increasingly fell in with the Poitevin or
Lusignan
faction—the half-brothers of his father Henry III—led by such men as
William de Valence
. This association was significant, because the two groups of privileged foreigners were resented by the established English aristocracy, and they would be at the centre of the ensuing years' baronial reform movement. There were tales of unruly and violent conduct by Edward and his Lusignan kinsmen, which raised questions about the royal heir's personal qualities. The next years would be formative on Edward's character.
Early ambitions
Edward had shown independence in political matters as early as 1255, when he sided with the Soler family in Gascony, in the ongoing conflict between the Soler and Colomb families. This ran contrary to his father's policy of mediation between the local factions. In May 1258, a group of
magnates
drew up a document for reform of the king’s government—the so-called
Provisions of Oxford
—largely directed against the Lusignans. Edward stood by his political allies and strongly opposed the Provisions. The reform movement succeeded in limiting the Lusignan influence, however, and gradually Edward’s attitude started to change. In March 1259, he entered into a formal alliance with one of the main reformers,
Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester
. Then, on 15 October 1259, he announced that he supported the barons' goals, and their leader, Simon de Montfort.
The motive behind Edward's change of heart could have been purely pragmatic; Montfort was in a good position to support his cause in Gascony. When the king left for France in November, Edward's behaviour turned into pure insubordination. He made several appointments to advance the cause of the reformers, causing his father to believe that his son was considering a coup d'état. When the king returned from France, he initially refused to see his son, but through the mediation of the
Earl of Cornwall
and the
archbishop of Canterbury
, the two were eventually reconciled. Edward was sent abroad, and in November 1260 he again united with the Lusignans, who had been exiled to France.
[
Back in England, early in 1262, Edward fell out with some of his former Lusignan allies over financial matters. The next year, King Henry sent him on a campaign in Wales against
Llywelyn ap Gruffudd
, with only limited results.
[
round the same time, Simon de Montfort, who had been out of the country since 1261, returned to England and reignited the baronial reform movement. It was at this pivotal moment, as the king seemed ready to resign to the barons' demands, that Edward began to take control of the situation. Whereas he had so far been unpredictable and equivocating, from this point on he remained firmly devoted to protecting his father's royal rights.

He reunited with some of the men he had alienated the year before—among them his childhood friend,
Henry of Almain
, and
John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey
—and retook
Windsor Castle
from the rebels.
[25]
Through the arbitration of King
Louis IX of France
, an agreement was made between the two parties. This so-called
Mise of Amiens
was largely favourable to the royalist side, and laid the seeds for further conflict.
