Haec verba in sepulcro Edwardi incisa sunt; Edwardus Primus Malleus
Scotorum hic est. Fuit (sic optime describitur) homo severa indole,
invidiosa honoris sui tutela et eius sui vindicati regni, fide *** suis
consiliis apta erat, nec plus.
On Edward's tomb is inscribed Edwardus Primus Malleus Scotorum hic est
(Here lies Edward I, The Hammer of the Scots). He may be best described
as a man of stern character, jealous of his honour and of what he
conceived to be the honour of his kingdom, true to his word when it
suited his end, and only then.

Edwardus iussit ut eum in sarcophago plumbeo sepelirent; atque in aureum
sarcophagum transferrent Hibernia tandem ab Anglicis debellata. Adhuc
requiescit in plumbeo.
Edward instructed that he should be buried in a lead casket, and be
transferred to a gold casket only after England had finally defeated
Scotland. He remains in a lead casket to this day.

Requiescat in pace! Suam uxorem saltem amavit. Cruces duodecim
aedificavit praeter viam qua Eleanorem reginam ad Londinium post mortem
transtulerunt. Quarum una est Crux Charingensis.
