Very problematic.

Edward Longshanks, basically a Frenchman on an English throne, runs around slaughtering the Welsh and the Scots, and they want to put up a monument to his castle-building?

Didn't Mel Gibson explain what was wrong with this dude in the movie Braveheart?
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

I am surprised Mel Gibson had a bad word to say about Edward I, as Edward expelled all the Jews from England.
100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.
