WHO IS EDWARD I?

Edward I (House of Plantagenet) ruled England from 1272 to 1307. He is most commonly known by the nickname Edward Longshanks, a reference to his height, but Factacular tells us he had many other sobriquets: Hammer of the Scots, Scotland’s Scourge, Father of the Longbow, the Warrior King, the Father of the Mother of Parliaments and, the one in today’s clue– the English Justinian.

From 2015: LARGE & IN CHARGE ($2000) William Wallace should’ve known better than to pick a fight with Edward I, nicknamed this for his height & stature

Phyllis picked Henry I (nickname: Beauclerc). She lost everything but a dollar.

Chantelle had the same response. She lost her $16,250 bet, leaving her with $250.

Bala got it right. He bet a whopping $16,300 and became the new Jeopardy! champ with the winning total of $33,000.
