Notes

Burke say he was born 10 Oct 1206 and married 14 Jan, crowned 1216. His reign of 56 years was during the era of great buildings, cathedrals. He liberally patronized art and religion.

"Henry III, the first monarch to be crowned in his minority, inherited the throne at age nine. His reign began immersed in the rebellion created by his father, King John. London and most of the southeast were in the hands of the French Dauphin Louis and the northern regions were under the control of rebellious barons - only the midlands and southwest were loyal to the boy king. The barons, however, rallied under Henry's first regent, William the Marshall, and expelled the French Dauphin in 1217. William the Marshall governed until his death in 1219; Hugh de Burgh, the last of the justiciars to rule with the power of a king, governed until Henry came to the throne in earnest at age twenty-five." src: URL: http://www.icweb.com/marshal/timeline.html

"Reigned 1216-1272. A minor when he took the throne he did not take the reigns of Government himself until 1234. Baronian discontent simmered, boiling over in 1258 when Henry facing financial disaster attempted to raise large sums from his magnates. Reforms were agreed upon but then renouced by Henry. Simon de Montford lead a rebellion against the King (the Barons Wars) which was defeated after initial success, thereafter Henry ceeded much of his power to his son.

"Henry succeded his father, John, upon his father's death. At the time, Henry was only nine years old, and was placed under regency. William the Marshall became regent until his death in 1219, and Hugh de Burgh was regent until Henry came to the throne in 1227. Henry married Eleanor of Provence in 1236 and had four sons and two daughters.

At the start of his reign, only the southwest and midlands of England were loyal to the king. The rebellious barons controlled the north, but they sided with Henry against the French Dauphin, who controlled the southeast of the island. The French were expelled by the Marshall in 1217. Henry's kingdom was poor, and he was forced to tax his nobles to finance wars that he was unable to win. As a result, Henry was forced to sell the claims to his Angevin possessions with the exception of Gascony and Calais.

Henry's failures incited a baronial revolt led by his brother-in-law, Simon de Monfort. The rebellion lasted until de Monfort was killed by Henry's son, Edward, in 1265. When Henry refused to follow the Provisions of Oxford, he was summoned to the first Parliament. The Parliament agreed that the king be placed under the advice of a council for policy decisions. Henry is viewed as a political failure, but he was a cultural success. His reign defined the English monarchy as kingship limited by law. Henry died in 1272 after a reign of 56 years."

"Plantaganet, King of England (1216-1272), was born on October 1, 1207, at
Winchester, and died on November 16, 1272, at St. Edmundsbury, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. He reigned from 1216 to 1272. He was only nine years old when his father died, and he was crowned King of England, on October 28, 1216. William Marshal was persuaded by King John's executors to become rector of the king and kingdom. The king's mother, Isabel of Angouleme, left England and married again (1220), the Marshal died (1219), and Hubert de Burgh ruled undisturbed until 1223. Then Henry, aged sixteen, became fully responsible for the disposal of his seals, castle, lands, and wardships. He was also Earl of Winchester. In 1227 he declared himself of age; in 1232 he deprived Hubert de Burgh, who ruled as regent and justiciary, of all his offices; and in 1234 he took administration into his own hands. On January 14, 1236, he married Eleanor of Provence, daughter of Raymond Berengar (Berenger) IV., Count of Provence, 1222-1291, and his wife, Beatrix of Savoy. Eleanor was also the sister-in-law of St. Louis, King of France, and niece of Amadeus IV., Count of Savoy.

Henry III. reigned in the period from 1216 to 1272. He was memorable because he showed himself unfitted to exercise supreme power (1234-1258). By acting as if the Magna Charta had never been, he provoked the opposition of the barons and made possible the rise of Simon de Montfort. Dante represents him in Purgatory among those punished for being negligent rulers. Unsuccessful in war, whether in Wales (1228) or Gascony (1242-43), he was equally unsuccessful at home, and the defeat of Simon de Montfort's baronial rebellion was due not to Henry but to his son, Edward I. After his death Queen Eleanor became a nun at Ambresbury in Wiltshire and died there on June 24, 1291."
