The long reign of Henry III (1216-1272) was one of the most
significan in English history. It was the implantation of the Magna
Carta into political life, the development of parliament and the
rise of English national feeling. Reforms in 1258 reduced the king
to a cipher and led to a civil war which culminated in the rule of
Simon de Montfort: revolutionary events which had no parallel until
the 1640's. In recent years, D.A. Carpenter has played a leading
part in this reinterpretation of this momentus and exciting period.
The Reign of Henry III contains important new pieces on the dating
and making of Magna Carta; on justice and jurisdiction under John
and Henry III; on the beginnings of parliament; on Matthew Paris
and Henry III's speech at the exchequer in 1256; and on the burial
of Henry III, the regalia and royal ideology.The volume also
discusses the whole nature of Henry III's personal rule, the
immediate causes of the revolution of 1258, the rise of Simon de
Montfort, the explosive development of English national feeling,
the social and economic position of the gentry, the role of
peasants in politics, and Henry III's relations with both the Tower
of London and the Cosmati work at Westminster Abbey. This
wide-ranging volume of essays will be indsispensable for students
of English medieval history.
