The second volume in the definitive history of Henry III’s rule,
covering the revolutionary events between 1258 and the king’s
death in 1272 Â After coming to the throne aged just nine,
Henry III spent much of his reign peaceably. Conciliatory and
deeply religious, he created a magnificent court, rebuilt
Westminster Abbey, and invested in soft power. Then, in 1258, the
king faced a great revolution. Led by Simon de Montfort, the
uprising stripped him of his authority and brought decades of
personal rule to a catastrophic end. In the brutal civil war that
followed, the political community was torn apart in a way unseen
again until Cromwell. Â Renowned historian David Carpenter
brings to life the dramatic events in the last phase of Henry
III’s momentous reign. Carpenter provides a fresh account of the
king’s strenuous efforts to recover power and sheds new light on
the characters of the rebel de Montfort, Queen Eleanor, and Lord
Edward—the future Edward I. A groundbreaking biography, Henry III
illuminates as never before the political twists and turns of the
day, showing how politics and religion were intimately connected.
