* [[July 18]] &ndash; [[Edict of Expulsion]]: King [[Edward I of England]] ("Longshanks") orders all Jews (at this time probably numbering around 2,000) to leave the country by [[November 1]] ([[All Saints' Day]]<ref>Mundill, Robin R. (2002). ''England's Jewish Solution: Experiment and Expulsion, 1262-1290.'' Cambridge University Press. {{ISBN|0-521-52026-6}}.</ref>). The edict was decreed on [[Tisha B'Av]] on the [[Hebrew calendar]], a day that commemorates many calamities. They are eventually allowed back in 1656.
* September &ndash; The 7-year-old [[Margaret, Maid of Norway]], queen-designate and heir to the crown of [[Kingdom of Scotland|Scotland]], dies en route to the [[British Isles]] in [[Orkney]], leading to thirteen [[competitors for the crown of Scotland]], a succession crisis.
* [[November 28]] &ndash; [[Eleanor of Castile]], wife of Edward I, dies while traveling in the North. She has been suffering from illness for some time, and the cold and dampness of the winter months probably aggravate her condition.
* December &ndash; Edward I travels with the body of Queen Eleanor from [[Lincoln, England|Lincoln]] to [[London]]. Remembering his wife, Edward erects a series of crosses at each location that the body rests overnight. These are known as the twelve [[Eleanor cross]]es.
* Winter &ndash; The second of the [[Statutes of Mortmain]] passed during the reign of Edward I prevents land from passing into the possession of the Church.
* [[Quia Emptores]], a statute passed by Edward I, puts an end to the practice of [[subinfeudation]]s. The statute allows land to be sold according to royal approval, as long as the new owner answers directly to his lord or the king.
