WAITE, FOSTER LINES

!King of England, 1216-72. Since he was a boy of 9 when he inherited the throne, there was a long regency, during which he was under the protection of the papacy for the most part and a papal legate ruled. For a time Hubert de Burgh, who was hostile to the papacy, controlled affairs; but when Henry took over the government he soon (1232) dismissed him. [Outline History of Mankind]

!Henry was weak and willful, and tried to rule with personal favorites whom he brought over from the Continent. He was extravagant and exacted high taxes and otherwise mismanaged affairs. He was always under the domination of the pope and allowed him to take large amounts of money out of England in the form of taxes on the English clergy. For all these reasons he was very unpopular, and the barons at length decided to take matters into their own hands. They forced the king to submit to the Provisions of Oxford (1258) which provided that all royal officials be responsible, not to the king but to a council of fifteen which represented the barons. This system worked badly and soon there was war. The leader of the barons was Simon de Montfort, a French and English noble who had very liberal ideas about reform and the rights of the middle class. In 1264 he forced Henry to agree to the mist of Lewes which put the government in a council of nine dominated by Simon. Simon called a great council which was notable for the fact that representatives of both towns and rural districts were called to sit with the barons. But some of the barons were alarmed at this liberalism and the next year Simon was killed in battle. Thus the movement failed and the kingdom was at peace until Henry's death in 1272. [Outline History of Mankind]

[Chronicles of Royal Family, p. 56]

!Gloucester, 26 Oct 1216 -- In a makeshift ceremony where the queen's bracelet was substituted for the crown (which was lost in the Wash by King John with the rest of the royal regalia), Henry was hastily pulled from his playing to take the throne as the Welsh princes are attack in the west and the French and rebel barons take control of much of SE England. Seamstresses hastily put together some improvised coronation robes. [Chronicles of the Royal Family, p. 56]

!London, 1256 -- Henry received a gift of an elephant from King Louis IX of France. The elephant resided in a manageris which Henry build in the Tower of London. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 59]

!Westminster, 1269 -- Henry is an exceptionally pious king, hearing mass several times a day, and a man of sensitivity and taste who has sponsored a great boom in the arts and learning. His greatest memorial was the rebuilding of Westminster abbey church at his own expense as a home for the shrine of its royal founder, St. Edward the Confesor. He also founded Oxford University. He was notoriously mean. On his son Edward's birth, messengers were dispatched to tell the news to the country's nobles. Henry returned presents that he regarded as unsatisfactory and made his anger clear. His lack of trustworthiness was shown when he repudiated the Provisions of Oxford -- which limited royal power -- despite his solemn oaths. But for all his faults, Henry was a pious and sensitive man who presided over a period of great intellectual and artistic achievement.[Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 60-1]

Reigned as King of England from 1216 to 1277.
Crowned at Gloucester 28 Oct 1216;

also per Marlyn Lewis

On John the Scot's death, King Henry III (1216-72) acquired the earldom of Chester, which included the castles of Chester itself, and that of Shotwick which lay just across the Dee from the later Flint. Indeed, this was to prove a significant tactical advantage since the Crown now had a direct foothold on the borders of Wales. Chester provided the direct base from which the Crown might confront the power of Gwynedd and curb its ambitions in the border zone. In 1241 Henry III built a new stone castle at Dyserth. Henry III granted the earldom of Chester and its castles to his eldest son, Edward (later King Edward I), in 1254. [Flint Castle/Ewloe Castle, p. 6]

Nine days after King John's death, on 28 October, John's 9-year-old son Henry was crowned in Gloucester Abbey by Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, who became the boy's tutor. The Pope offered active support through his legate Gualo. The royalist barons stood firm behind William the Marshal, the greatest soldier of his time and a man of untarnished reputation: he was given the title and responsibility of 'governor of King and kingdom'. [Lincoln Castle, p. 34]

At Ludlow Castle in 1224 Henry III made a treaty with the rebel prince, Llewellyn, with Archbishop Langton as mediator. [Ludlow Castle, p. 2]

Beaulieu Abbey was finished in 1246, some 42 years after it was started. In June of that year Henry III and his family were present at the dedication ceremony of what was the largest Cistercian Abbey in England, measuring 3336 by 182 feet. Extra land had been given to the Abbey complex by King Henry and in all an area of 55 acres was contained with the Abbey's protection. The whole parcel of land that comprised the estate was once part of the King's hunting ground. ["Place of the King" by Derek Littlewood, REALM June 2002, pp. 44-49]
