A Biography of Henry III
Paperback
Publication Date: 01/06/2013
Henry III was the son and successor of Bad King John, reigning for 56 years from 1216 - the first child king in England for 200 years. England went on to prosper during his reign and his greatest monument is Westminster Abbey, which he made the seat of his government - indeed, Henry III was the first English King to call a parliament. Though often overlooked by historians, Henry III was a unique figure, coming out of a chivalric yet Gothic era: a compulsive builder of daunting castles and epic sepulchres; a powerful, unyielding monarch who faced down the De Montfort rebellion and waged war with Wales and France - and, much more than his father, Henry was the king who really hammered out the terms of the Magna Carta with the barons.
