Edward I of England and Leonor of Castile had at least fourteen children together, though only six survived into adulthood, five of them daughters.Daughters of Edward I traces the lives of these five capable, independent women, including Joan of Acre, born in the Holy Land, who defied her father by marrying a second husband of her own choice, and Mary, who did not let her forced veiling as a nun stand in the way of the life she really wanted to live.
