The close political, economic and cultural ties that developed
between England and its neighbours were a defining feature of the
rule of Henry III, which permeated nearly all levels of society
from the king and his barons to the Church and merchants, artisans
and fortune hunters. They were evident both in the high politics of
Henry III, as well as in the more general cultural developments, as
can be seen in the French architecture, Italian masonry and German
goldwork of Westminster Abbey. They can likewise be traced with
regard to individuals such as Simon de Montfort, whose family was
active in the Holy Land, Languedoc, Northern France and England. In
short, thirteenth century England formed part of a broader European
cultural, political and economic commonwealth. The essays that form
this volume demonstrate the variety and strength of these contacts
between England and her neighbours during Henry's reign, and by
seeking to place Henry's England within a broader geographical and
thematic range, will contribute to a broader understanding of
England's place within thirteenth century Europe.
