Notizen bei Henry Plantagenet, King of England III

Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.d diplomatic ability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chief counsellor.ame, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions.ng: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.les in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them.ustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.ity. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed.s mind, his public display of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly £50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He had been so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.'mperor Frederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans.ding him into dangers. In 1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in the Tower of London.y took more, milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments before bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, and foreign-ness.s were hopelessly tied---the Pope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparate need for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if he could reach it.egalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited.

One cannot assess how deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced by Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in the baronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.4. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, though prone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son, the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry was rescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'suaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates.

He was born at Winchester and was only 9 years old when he came to the throne which he occupied for 56 years. He married Eleanor of Provence. While he was a minor, the land was ruled by the Earl of Pembroke and Hubert de Burgh. His personal rule was weak and ineffective. Many followers from his wife's country were given important positions and the English barons became restless. By 1258 Henry was compelled to hand power to these barons, led by Simon de Monfort. War broke out between the barons and Henry, and he was defeated and made prisoner at Lewes. He had to agree that a new Great Council or Parliament, as it was now called for the first time, be set up. The members of this Parliament would be chosen half by the King and half by the barons. In 1265 his son Edward defeated the barons at Evesham and de Monfort was killed. After this, although Henry remained King, the real ruler was Edward. Henry's most lasting contribution to his country was his advancement of the design of Gothic architecture. In particular, he instituted the building of a new Abbey at Westminster and in Oct 1269 the relics of the Saint, Edward the Confessor, were laid in a shrine behind it's altar. Henry died on Wednesday, 16th November 1272, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. Elsewhere, in 1263 the Scots won the Hebrides from Norway.
