1277. Nicholas III. 1281. Martin IV. 1288. Nicholas IV. Never was coronation attended by more outward splendor or more heartfeltjoy than was that of Edward I. And Eleanor of Castile, when, fresh fromthe glory of their Crusade, they returned to their kingdom. Edward was the restorer of peace after a lengthened civil strife; hisprowess was a just subject of national pride, and the affection of hissubjects was further excited by the perils he had encountered. Not onlyhad he narrowly escaped the da...gger of the Eastern assassin, but while atBordeaux, during his return, while the royal pair were sitting on thesame couch, a flash of lightning had passed between them, leavingthem uninjured, but killing two attendants who stood behind them. At Chalons-sur-Marne he had likewise been placed in great danger bytreachery. The Count de Chalons had invited him to a tournament, and hehad accepted, contrary to the advice of the Pope, who warned him of evildesigns; but he declared that no king ever refused such a challenge, andarrived at Chalons with a gallant following.
