Henry III (1207-1272) was the eldest son of King John, and a grandson of Henry II. He came to the throne in 1216 when he was only 9 years old, but did not rule until he came of age in 1227.
Henry was a fickle tyrant who surrounded himself with favorites from other countries. The English nobles revolted against his rule and the foreign influences in his court. They forced Henry to grant the Provisions of Oxford, which transferred governing powers to a committee of barons. Later, Henry broke the agreement and raised an army. But he was defeated and captured at the battle of Lewes in 1264.
Simon de Montfort, leader of the reform party, then governed England until he was killed at the batttle of Evesham in 1265 by Henry's son, Edward. Edward ruled the country during the rest of Henry's lifetime.

Succeeded his father in 1216, Crowned in 1220. He was a feeble king
and was virtually deposed in 1258.

Basic Life Information

Henry III was the son and successor of John "Lackland" as King of England, reigning for 56 years from 1216 to his death. His contemporaries knew him as Henry of Winchester. He was the first child king in England since the reign of Ethelred the Unready. Despite his long reign, his personal accomplishments were slim and he was a political and military failure. England, however, prospered during his century and his greatest monument is Westminster, which he made the seat of his government and where he expanded the abbey as a shrine to Edward the Confessor.

He assumed the crown under the regency of the popular William Marshal, but the England he inherited had undergone several drastic changes in the reign of his father. He spent much of his reign fighting the barons over the Magna Carta and the royal rights, and was eventually forced to call the first "parliament" in 1264. He was also unsuccessful on the Continent, where he endeavoured to re-establish English control over Normandy, Anjou, and Aquitaine.

Appearance

According to Nicholas Trevet, Henry was a thickset man of medium height with a narrow forehead and a drooping left eyelid (inherited by his son, Edward I).

Marriage and Children

Married on 14 January 1236, Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, to Eleanor of Provence, with at least five children born:

Edward I (b. 17 January 1239 - d. 8 July 1307)
Margaret (b. 29 September 1240 - d. 26 February 1275), married King Alexander III of Scotland
Beatrice (b. 25 June 1242 - d. 24 March 1275), married to John II, Duke of Brittany
Edmund (16 January 1245 - d. 5 June 1296)
Katharine (b. 25 November 1253 - d. 3 May 1257), deafness was discovered at age 2.

Death

Henry's reign ended when he died in 1272, after which he was succeeded by his son, Edward I. His body was laid, temporarily, in the tomb of Edward the Confessor while his own sarcophagus was constructed in Westminster Abbey.

Reigned 1216-1272. A minor (9 years old) 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 Hnery ceeded much of
his power to
his son. Burke say he was born 10 Oct 1206 and married 14 Jan,
crowned 1216.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Henry III (born 1207, ruled 1216-1272). The elder son of King John and
grandson of Henry II was a weak and incompetent ruler. He was born in
Winchester on Oct. 1, 1207. Until he came of age, in 1227, the
government was in the hands of regents.
In 1236 Henry married Eleanor of Provence. His extravagance, his
lavish gifts to favorites and to his wife's French relatives, and an
unsuccessful war in France in 1242 caused mounting opposition to him.
In 1258 a group of barons, led by Simon de Montfort, agreed to grant
the king money only if he accepted the Provisions of Oxford, a body of
reforms to be carried out by a commission of barons.
Henry repudiated the reform measures in 1261. In the Barons' War
that followed, King Henry and his son Edward were captured at Lewes in
1264. Edward escaped and rescued his father. After the defeat and death
of Simon in 1265, Henry was restored to the throne. Thereafter,
however, the gifted and respected Edward was king in all but name.
Henry died at Westminster, on Nov. 16, 1272 (see Edward, Kings of
England; Montfort).

King of England 1216-1272

From Plantagenet Ancestry:

HENRY III OF ENGLAND, King of England, son and heir, born at Winchest 1 Oct. 1207. He ascended the throne 19 Oct. 1216, and was crowned at Gloucester 28 Oct. 1216, again at Westminster Abbey 17 May 1220. Sometime prior to 19 Oct. 1216, he contracted to marry Yolande of Brittany, daughter of Pierre de braine, Knt., Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, which contract was eventually voided. In 1226 he released all his right in the city and county of Angoulème, the city of Saintonge, and the castles of Cognac and Merpins to his mother and step-father. Henry assumed personal rule when he declared hismelf to be of full age in Jan. 1227. He married (1st) by proxy in 1235 JEANNE DE DAMMARTIN, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Simon de Dammartin ... which marriage was annulled without consummation 27 April 1236 on grounds that they were related in the 4th degree of kindred. He married 2nd ... ELEANOR OF PROVENCE .... They had nine children .... Henry's personal rule in the direction of royal finances without the participation of the barons provoked discontent. The barons were further repelled by the influence over his government by his Queen's Savoyard kinsmen. His Lusignan half-brothers involved him in a disastrous foray in France. Henry's need for financial support compelled him in 1258 to agree to the creation of a privy council of barons to advise him and to oversee the administration of the government. In 1259 he gave up his claim to Normandy and other hereditary possessions of the crown in France, in return for some territories in Gascony which had been lost. His major baronial opponent by 1263 was his brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester .... In the ensuing civil war, Montfort captured Henry and his eldest son, Edward, at the Battle of Lewes in Sussex 14 May 1264. Montfort ruled England in Henry's name until he was defeated and killed at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. HENRY III OF ENGLAND, Kind of England, died testate at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk 16 Nov. 1272, and was buried at Westminster Abbey. His widow, Eleanor, entered Amesbury Priory, Wiltshire, where she was veiled 7 July 1286. She gave five pounds of silver every Friday to the poor in reverence for the five wounds of Christ. In 1290 she requested a commission of oyer and terminer from the king to enquire into trespasses committed by her stewards or bailiffs throughout her lands. She died at Amesbury Priory testate 24 June 1291, where she was buried in the Convent Church. In 1292 Henry's heart was delivered by the Abbot of Winchester to the Abbess of Fontrevault, to whom the king had promised it when he visited her house in 1254.

He succeeded to the title of King Henry III of England on 19 October 1216.2 He was crowned King of England on 28 October 1216 at Gloucester Cathedral, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England , and styled 'Rex Anglaie, Dominus Hiberniae, Dux Normanniae, et Dux Aquitaniae.1,4' He abdicated as Duke of Normandy in December 1259.2 He was only 9 years old when he came to the throne which he occupied for 56 years. 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 its altar. He has an extensive biography in the Dictionary of National Biography.5

Henry III. 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.
("The Genealogy of Homer Beers James", V1, JANDA Consultants, 1993 Homer James)
Henry III (of England) (1207-72), king of England (1216-72), son and successorof King John (Lackland), and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciar Hubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During the regency the French, who occupied much of eastern England, were expelled, and rebellious barons were subdued. Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert de Burgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France. In order to secure the throne of Sicily for one of his sons, Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum. When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, theyrefused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter was referred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decided in Henry's favor in a judgment called the Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and took him prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) south of Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and the barons agreed to a compromise with Edward and his party in 1267. From that time on Edward ruled England, and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king. Unparsed GEDCOM data: 1 NOTE 2 SOUR @S158@
BIOGRAPHY: Henry III, 1207-72 (r.1216-72), was the son of John. He became king under a regency and was granted full powers of kingship in 1227. In 1230, against the advice of chief justiciar, Hubert de Burgh, he led an unsuccessful expedition to Gascony and Brittany. He dismissed Hubert in 1232 and began a reign of extravagance and general incapacity, spending vast sums on futile wars in France. Henry's absolutism, his reliance on French favorites, and his subservience to the papacy aroused the hostility of the barons. His attempt to put his son, Edmund, earl of Lancaster, on the throne of Sicily (given to Henry by the pope) eventually led to the Baron's War. Simon de Montfort, the baron's leader, won at Lewes and summoned (1267) a famous parliament, but Henry's son Edward I led royal troops to victory at Evesham (1265), where de Montfort was killed. By 1267 the barons had capitulated, Prince Edward ruled the realm, and Henry was king in name only.
BIOGRAPHY: Henry III (r.1216-1272), John's son, was only nine when he became King. By 1227, when he assumed power from his regent, order had been restored, based on his acceptance of Magna Carta. However, the king's failed campaigns in France (1230 and 1242), his choice of friends and advisors, together with the cost of his scheme to make one of his younger sons King of Sicily and help the pope against the Holy Roman Emperor, led to further disputes with the barons and united opposition in church and state. Although Henry was extravagant and his tax demands were resented, the king's accounts show a list of many charitable donations and payments for building works (including the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey which began in 1245). The Provision of Oxford (1258) and the Provisions of Westminster (1259) were attempts by the nobles to define common law in the spirit of Magna Carta, control appointments and set up an aristocratic council. Henry tried to defeat them by obtaining papal absolution from his oaths, and enlisting King Louis XI's help. Henry renounced the Provisions in 1262 and war broke out. The barons, under their leader, Simon de Montfort, were initially successful and even captured Henry. However, Henry escaped, joined forces with the lords of the Marches (on the Welch border), and Henry finally defeated and killed de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. Royal authority was restored by the Statute of Marlborough (1267), in which the King also promised to uphold Magna Carta and some of the Provisions of Westminster.

King of England. He was crowned at age nine at Gloucester on October 28, 1216. He assumed personal rule when he declared himself to be of full age in January, 1227, and sought to recover the lands in France lost by his father. His personal rule in the direction of royal finances without the participation of the barons provoked discontent. The barons were further repelled by the influence over his government by his Queen's Savoyard kinsmen. His Lusignan half brothers involved him in a disastrous foray in France. His need for financial support compelled him in 1258 to agree to the creaton of a privy council of barons to advise him and to oversee the administration of government. He sought help from the French king, Louis IX, and in 1259 made peace, abandoning claims to the lost lands in France. These included the titles of Duc de Normandie and Comte d'Anjou in 1259; he also renounced claims to the counties of Maine, Touraine, and Poitou. He agreed to hold the province still in his hands, the duchy of Gascony, as a feudal vassal of Louis and his successors. His major baronial opponent by 1264 was his brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester. In the ensuing civil war Montfort captured Henry and his eldest son, Edward, at the battle of Lewes in Sussex on May 14, 1264. Montfort ruled England in Henry's name until he was defeated and killed at the battle of Evesham on August 4, 1265, by Henry's son, Edward, who assumed effective control of his government.

Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throneofEngland 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

!Henry III had a domestic character and artistic interests. Statesmanship was beyond him. He would have excelled as a cultured country gentleman, interested in the lives of everyone on the estate. He was short in stature; always plump; had dark bobbed hair and beard which went prematurely grey. He had a kindly face and a gaze taking in only a short prepective in every sense. His left eyelid was noticeably drooping. He was one of the few monarchs to die of natural causes at age 65. He attended the completion of Westminster Abbey, re-interred the body of Edward the Confessor in a new shrine and was himself buried in the Confessor's former coffin in Westminster, where his bronze effigy now stands.

Henry III, King of England (1207-1272) Henry III, eldest son of King John and Isabella of Angoulm̊e, was born at Winchester in 1207. He succeeded his father in 1216 and was crowned at Gloucester, in the presence of Gualo, the papal legate, predecessor of Pandulf and one of the guardians of the young king, 28th October of that year. The regency was intrusted to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke who in 1217 defeated the French army at Lincoln, and compelled the Dauphin Louis to retire to France. On Pembroke's death, in May, 1219, Hubert de Burgh and Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, became regents; but mutual jealousies and dissensions disturbed their administration and weakened their power. Henry was crowned a second time, in 1220, and two years later was declared of age, but his feebleness of character unfitted him to rule, and the real power remained with his ministers. His fondness for foreign counsellors, his unsuccessful wars with France, and his attempts to govern without parliaments, excited much ill-humour in the nation. This was increased by the papal exactions which he permitted, and by the heavy impositions on his subjects, made necessary by his acceptance of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund. At length, in 1258, he was virtually deposed by the 'Mad Parliament,' which assembled at Oxford, and a council of state was formed under the presidency of Simon de Montfort. The popular leaders quarrelled among themselves, while the king was a prisoner in their hands. But in 1262 civil war began, the king being compelled to employ foreign mercenaries. In 1264 the battle of Lewes was fought, at which the king, Prince Edward, Earl Richard, King of the Romans, and his son Henry, were made prisoners by the barons. Soon after De Montfort, now virtually sovereign, summoned a parliament, which met in January, 1265, and was the first to which knights of the shire and representatives of cities and boroughs were called; thus constituting the first House of Commons. In August of that year De Montfort was defeated and killed by Prince Edward at the battle of Evesham, and the king regained his liberty. But the war lasted two years longer. In 1270 Prince Edward set out on the crusade, and before his return Henry died at Westminster, November 16,1272.

Henry III King of England, 1207-1272 He was King of England from 1216 to 1272 and was the son and successor of King John (Lackland), and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciar Hubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During the regency the French, who occupied much of eastern England, were expelled, and rebellious barons were subdued. Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert de Burgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France. In order to secure the throne of Sicily for one of his sons, Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum. When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, they refused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter was referred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decided in Henry's favor in a judgment called the Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and took him prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) south of Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and the barons agreed to a compromise with Edward and his party in 1267. From that time on Edward ruled England, and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king. ."Henry III (of England)," Microsoftʼ Encartaʼ 97 Encyclopedia. ♭ 1993-1996 Microsoft Corporation.

Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throneBooks, New York, 1995

Became King when only 9 years old. He was fortunate in having William Marshall as Regent. He asswumed direct rule in 1227. He failed to recognize the rights and privileges of the barons, and placed onerous taxes on them, including the infamous scutage. He was forced, at the Council of Westminister in 1258, to allow the barons to select 1/2 of the King's council. In 1260, he overturned these provisions and England slid into the abyss of civil war. At the battle of Lewes in May 1264 Henry was defeated and captured. He was forced to call a parliament at which he acknowlegded the barons demands. His son, Edward I, escaped, raised an army and defeated the barons in Aug 1265. He rescinded all the acts to which he had agreed and decreed grievous punishments upon the barons. At sixty, he was becoming senile and left much of the government to his son. He was pious, a devoted family man and preferred to seek peace instead of war which encouraged a flowering of art and culture in England which was his trued legacy. (Mike Ashley "Mammoth Book of English Kings & Queens" 1998, p531-534)

From Britannia Internet Magazine (copyright 1996, 1997, 1998):

Henry III (Reign, 1216-72 AD), B- 1207, D- 1272

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 the southwest were loyal to the boy king, The barons, however, allied 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

A variety of factors coalesced in Henry s reign to plant the first seeds of English nationalism. Throughout his minority, the barons held firm to the Ideal of written restrictions on royal authority and reissued Magna Carta several times. The nobility wished to bind the king to same feudal laws under which they were held. The emerging class of free men also demanded the same protection from the king's excessive control. Barons, nobility, and free men began viewing England as a community rather than a mere aggregation of independent manors, villages and outlying principalities. 1n addition to the restrictions outlined in Magna Carta, the barons asked to be consulted in matters of state and called together as a Great Council. Viewing themselves as the natural counselors of the king, they sought control over the machinery of government, particularly in the appointment of chief government positions. The Exchequer and he Chancery were separated from the rest of the government to decrease the king's chances of ruling irresponsibly

Nationalism, such as it was at this early stage, manifested in the form of opposition to Henry's actions. He infuriated the barons by granting favors and appointments to foreigners rather than the English nobility. Peter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester and Henry's prime educator, introduced a number of Frenchmen from Poitou into the government; many Italians entered into English society through Henry's close ties to in. papacy. His reign coincided with an expansion of papal power - the Church became, in effect a massive European monarchy - and the Church became as creative as it was excessive in distorting money from England. England was expected to assume a large portion of financing the myriad officials employed throughout Christendom as well as providing employment and parishes for Italians living abroad. Henry's acquiescence to the demands of Rome initiated a backlash of protest from his subjects; laymen were denied the opportunity to be nominated for vacant ecclesiastical offices and clergymen lost any chance of advancement.

Matters came to a head in 1258. Henry levied extortionate taxes to pay for debts incurred through war with Wales, failed campaigns in France and an extensive program of ecclesiastical building. Inept diplomacy and military defeat led Henry to sell his hereditary claims to all the Angevin possessions in France except Gascony. When he assumed the considerable debts of the papacy in its fruitless war with Sicily his barons demanded sweeping reforms and the king was in no position to offer resistance. Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, a document placing the barons in virtual control of the realm. A council of fifteen men, comprised of both the king's supporters and detractors, effected a situation whereby Henry could do nothing without the council's knowledge and consent. The magnates handled every level of government with great unity initially, but gradually succumbed to petty bickering; the Provisions of Oxford remained in force for only years. Henry reasserted his authority and denied the Provisions, resulting in the outbreak of civil war in 1264. Edward, Henry's eldest son, led the king's forces, with the opposition commanded by Simon de Montfort, Henry's brother-in-law. At the Battle of Lewes, in Sussex, de Montfort defeated Edward and captured both king and son - and found himself in control of the government.

Simon de Montfort held absolute power after subduing Henry but was a champion of reform. The nobility, supported him because of his royal ties and belief in the Provisions of Oxford. De Montfort, with two close associates, selected a council of nine (whose function was similar, to the earlier council of fifteen) and ruled in the king's name. De Monfort recognized the need to gain the backing of smaller landowners and prosperous townsfolk. In 1264, he summoned knights from each shire in addition to the normal high churchmen and nobility to an early pre-Parliament, and in 1265 invited burgesses from selected towns. Although Parliament as an institution was yet to be formalized, the latter session was a precursor, to both elements of Parliament: the House of Lord, and the House of Common,

Later in 1265, de Montfort lost the support of one of the most powerful barons, the Earl of Gloucester, and Edward also managed to escape. The two gathered an army and defeated de Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, Worcestershire. De Montfort was slain and Henry was released: Henry resumed control of the throne but, for the remainder of his reign, Edward exercised the real power of the throne in his father's stead. The old king, after a long reign of fifty-six years, died in 1272. Although a failure as a politician and soldier, his reign was significant for defining the English monarchical position until the end of the fifteenth century; kingship limited by law.

Henry III, King of Emgland, is the 4th cousin of his wife Eleanor, Countess of Provence.

Henry III (1 October 1207 - 16 November 1272) was the son and successor of John as King of England , reigning for fifty-six years from 1216 to his death. His contemporaries knew him as Henry of Winchester. He was the first child king in England since the reign of Æthelred the Unready . England prospered during his reign and his greatest monument is Westminster , which he made the seat of his government and where he expanded the abbey as a shrine to Edward the Confessor .
He assumed the crown under the regency of the popular William Marshal , but the England he inherited had undergone several drastic changes in the reign of his father. He spent much of his reign fighting the barons over Magna Carta [citation needed ] and the royal rights, and was eventually forced to call the first "parliament " in 1264. He was also unsuccessful on the Continent, where he endeavoured to re-establish English control over Normandy , Anjou , and Aquitaine .
Henry III was born in 1207 at Winchester Castle . He was the son of King John and Isabella of Angoulême . The coronation was a simple affair, attended by only a handful of noblemen and three bishops. In the absence of a crown a simple golden band was placed on the young boy's head, not by the Archbishop of Canterbury (who was at this time supporting Prince Louis of France , the newly-proclaimed king of France ) but rather by the Bishop of Gloucester . In 1220, a second coronation was ordered by Pope Honorius III who did not consider that the first had been carried out in accordance with church rites. This occurred on 17 May 1220 in Westminster Abbey .[1]
Under John's rule, the barons had supported an invasion by Prince Louis because they disliked the way that John had ruled the country. However, they quickly saw that the young prince was a safer option. Henry's regents immediately declared their intention to rule by Magna Carta , which they proceeded to do during Henry’s minority. Magna Carta was reissued in 1217 as a sign of goodwill to the barons and the country was ruled by regents until 1227.
In 1244, when the Scots threatened to invade England, King Henry III visited York Castle and ordered it rebuilt in stone. The work commenced in 1245, and took some 20 to 25 years to complete. The builders crowned the existing moat with a stone keep, known as the King's Tower.
Henry's reign came to be marked by civil strife as the English barons, led by Simon de Montfort , demanded more say in the running of the kingdom. French-born de Montfort had originally been one of the foreign upstarts so loathed by many as Henry's foreign counsellors. Henry, in an outburst of anger, accused Simon of seducing his sister and forcing him to give her to Simon to avoid a scandal. When confronted by the Barons about the secret marriage that Henry had allowed to happen, a feud developed between the two. Their relationship reached a crisis in the 1250s when de Montfort was brought up on spurious charges for actions he took as lieutenant of Gascony , the last remaining Plantagenet land across the English Channel . He was acquitted by the Peers of the realm , much to the King's displeasure.
Henry also became embroiled in funding a war in Sicily on behalf of the Pope in return for a title for his second son Edmund , a state of affairs that made many barons fearful that Henry was following in the footsteps of his father, King John , and needed to be kept in check, too. De Montfort became leader of those who wanted to reassert Magna Carta and force the king to surrender more power to the baronial council. In 1258, seven leading barons forced Henry to agree to the Provisions of Oxford , which effectively abolished the absolutist Anglo-Norman monarchy, giving power to a council of fifteen barons to deal with the business of government and providing for a thrice-yearly meeting of parliament to monitor their performance. Henry was forced to take part in the swearing of a collective oath to the Provisions of Oxford .
In the following years, those supporting de Montfort and those supporting the king grew more and more polarised. Henry obtained a papal bull in 1262 exempting him from his oath and both sides began to raise armies. The Royalists were led by Prince Edward , Henry's eldest son. Civil war, known as the Second Barons' War , followed.
The charismatic de Montfort and his forces had captured most of southeastern England by 1263, and at the Battle of Lewes on 14 May 1264, Henry was defeated and taken prisoner by de Montfort's army. While Henry was reduced to being a figurehead king, de Montfort broadened representation to include each county of England and many important towns-that is, to groups beyond the nobility. Henry and Edward continued under house arrest. The short period that followed was the closest England was to come to complete abolition of the monarchy until the Commonwealth period of 1649-1660 and many of the barons who had initially supported de Montfort began to suspect that he had gone too far with his reforming zeal.
But only fifteen months later Prince Edward had escaped captivity (having been freed by his cousin Roger Mortimer) to lead the royalists into battle again and he turned the tables on de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. Following this victory savage retribution was exacted on the rebels.
Henry's reign ended when he died in 1272, after which he was succeeded by his son, Edward I . His body was laid, temporarily, in the tomb of Edward the Confessor while his own sarcophagus was constructed in Westminster Abbey .
As Henry reached maturity he was keen to restore royal authority, looking towards the autocratic model of the French monarchy .[citation needed ] Henry married Eleanor of Provence and he promoted many of his French relatives to higher positions of power and wealth. For instance, one Poitevin , Peter des Riveaux , held the offices of Treasurer of the Household , Keeper of the King's Wardrobe, Lord Privy Seal , and the sheriffdoms of twenty-one English counties simultaneously. Henry's tendency to govern for long periods with no publicly-appointed ministers who could be held accountable for their actions and decisions did not make matters any easier. Many English barons came to see his method of governing as foreign.
Henry was much taken with the cult of the Anglo-Saxon saint king Edward the Confessor who had been canonised in 1161. Told that St Edward dressed austerely, Henry took to doing the same and wearing only the simplest of robes . He had a mural of the saint painted in his bedchamber for inspiration before and after sleep and even named his eldest son Edward. Henry designated Westminster , where St Edward had founded the abbey, as the fixed seat of power in England and Westminster Hall duly became the greatest ceremonial space of the kingdom, where the council of nobles also met. Henry appointed French architects from Rheims to renovate Westminster Abbey in the Gothic style. Work began, at great expense, in 1245. The centrepiece of Henry's renovated abbey was to be a shrine to Edward the Confessor. It was finished in 1269 and the saint's relics were then installed.
Henry was known for his anti-Jewish decrees, such as a decree compelling them to wear a special "badge of shame " in the form of the Two Tablets. Henry was extremely pious and his journeys were often delayed by his insistence on hearing Mass several times a day. He took so long to arrive on a visit to the French court that his brother-in-law, King Louis IX of France , banned priests from Henry's route. On one occasion, as related by Roger of Wendover , when King Henry met with papal prelates, he said, "If (the prelates) knew how much I, in my reverence of God, am afraid of them and how unwilling I am to offend them, they would trample on me as on an old and worn-out shoe."
Henry's advancement of foreign favourites , notably his wife's Savoyard uncles and his own Lusignan half-siblings, was unpopular with his subjects and barons. He was also extravagant and avaricious; when his first child, Prince Edward , was born, Henry demanded that Londoners bring him rich gifts to celebrate. He even sent back gifts that did not please him. Matthew Paris reports that some said, "God gave us this child, but the king sells him to us."
According to Nicholas Trevet , Henry was a thickset man of medium height with a narrow forehead and a drooping left eyelid (inherited by his son, Edward I ).
Married on 14 January 1236, Canterbury Cathedral , Canterbury , Kent , to Eleanor of Provence , with at least five children born:
Edward I (b. 17 January 1239 - d. 8 July 1307)
Margaret (b. 29 September 1240 - d. 26 February 1275), married King Alexander III of Scotland
Beatrice (b. 25 June 1242 - d. 24 March 1275), married to John II, Duke of Brittany
Edmund (16 January 1245 - d. 5 June 1296)
Katharine (b. 25 November 1253 - d. 3 May 1257), deafness was discovered at age 2. [1] <http://library.gallaudet.edu/dr/faq-earliest-deaf.html>
There is reason to doubt the existence of several attributed children of Henry and Eleanor.
Richard (b. after 1247 - d. before 1256),
John (b. after 1250 - d. before 1256), and
Henry (b. after 1253 - d. young)
Are known only from a 14th century addition made to a manuscript of Flores historiarum , and are nowhere contemporaneously recorded.
William (b. and d. ca. 1258) is an error for the nephew of Henry's half-brother, William de Valence .
Another daughter, Matilda, is found only in the Hayles abbey chronicle, alongside such other fictitious children as a son named William for King John , and a bastard son named John for King Edward I . Matilda's existence is doubtful, at best. For further details, see Margaret Howell, The Children of King Henry III and Eleanor of Provence (1992).
His Royal Motto was qui non dat quod habet non accipit ille quod optat (He who does not give what he has, does not receive what he wants).
His favourite wine was made with the Loire Valley red wine grape Pineau d'Aunis which Henry first introduced to England in the thirteenth century. [2]
He built a Royal Palace in the town of Cippenham , Slough , Buckinghamshire named "Cippenham Moat ".
In 1266, Henry III of England granted the Lübeck and Hamburg Hansa a charter for operations in England, which contributed to the emergence of the Hanseatic League .

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.

A variety of factors coalesced in Henry's reign to plant the first seeds of English nationalism. Throughout his minority, the barons held firm to the ideal of written restrictions on royal authority and reissued Magna Carta several times. The nobility wished to bind the king to same feudal laws under which they were held. The emerging class of free men also demanded the same protection from the king's excessive control. Barons, nobility, and free men began viewing England as a community rather than a mere aggregation of independent manors, villages, and outlying principalities. In addition to the restrictions outlined in Magna Carta, the barons asked to be consulted in matters of state and called together as a Great Council. Viewing themselves as the natural counselors of the king, they sought control over the machinery of government, particularly in the appointment of chief government positions. The Exchequer and the Chancery were separated from the rest of the government to decrease the king's chances of ruling irresponsibly.

Nationalism, such as it was at this early stage, manifested in the form of opposition to Henry's actions. He infuriated the barons by granting favors and appointments to foreigners rather than the English nobility. Peter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester and Henry's prime educator, introduced a number of Frenchmen from Poitou into the government; many Italians entered into English society through Henry's close ties to the papacy. His reign coincided with an expansion of papal power Ð the Church became, in effect, a massive European monarchy Ð and the Church became as creative as it was excessive in extorting money from England. England was expected to assume a large portion of financing the myriad officials employed throughout Christendom as well as providing employment and parishes for Italians living abroad. Henry's acquiescence to the demands of Rome initiated a backlash of protest from his subjects: laymen were denied opportunity to be nominated for vacant ecclesiastical offices and clergymen lost any chance of advancement.

Matters came to a head in 1258. Henry levied extortionate taxes to pay for debts incurred through war with Wales, failed campaigns in France, and an extensive program of ecclesiastical building. Inept diplomacy and military defeat led Henry to sell his hereditary claims to all the Angevin possessions in France except Gascony. When he assumed the considerable debts of the papacy in its fruitless war with Sicily, his barons demanded sweeping reforms and the king was in no position to offer resistance. Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, a document placing the barons in virtual control of the realm. A council of fifteen men, comprised of both the king's supporters and detractors, effected a situation whereby Henry could nothing without the council's knowledge and consent. The magnates handled every level of government with great unity initially but gradually succumbed to petty bickering; the Provisions of Oxford remained in force for only years. Henry reasserted his authority and denied the Provisions, resulting in the outbreak of war in 1264. Edward, Henry's eldest son, led the king's forces with the opposition commanded by Simon de Montfort, Henry's brother-in-law. At the Battle of Lewes, in Sussex, de Montfort defeated Edward and captured both king and son - and found himself in control of the government.

Simon de Montfort held absolute power after subduing Henry but was a champion of reform. The nobility supported him because of his royal ties and belief in the Provisions of Oxford. De Montfort, with two close associates, selected a council of nine (whose function was similar to the earlier council of fifteen) and ruled in the king's name. De Montfort recognized the need to gain the backing of smaller landowners and prosperous townsfolk: in 1264, he summoned knights from each shire in addition to the normal high churchmen and nobility to an early pre-Parliament, and in 1265 invited burgesses from selected towns. Although Parliament as an institution was yet to be formalized, the latter session was a precursor to both the elements of Parliament: the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Later in 1265, de Montfort lost the support of one of the most powerful barons, the Earl of Gloucester, and Edward also managed to escape. The two gathered an army and defeated de Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, Worcestershire. de Montfort was slain and Henry was released; Henry resumed control of the throne but, for the remainder of his reign, Edward exercised the real power of the throne in his father's stead. The old king, after a long reign of fifty-six years, died in 1272. Although a failure as a politician and soldier, his reign was significant for defining the English monarchical position until the end of the fifteenth century: kingship limited by law.

[howard.ged]

Henry III (of England) (1207-72), king of England (1216-72), son and successor of King John (Lackland), and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciar Hubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During the regency the French, who occupied much of eastern England, were expelled, and rebellious barons were subdued.
Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert de Burgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France. In order to secure the throne of Sicily for one of his sons, Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum. When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, they refused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter was referred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decided in Henry's favor in a judgment called the Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and took him prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) south of Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and the barons agreed to a compromise with Edward and his party in 1267. From that time on Edward ruled England, and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king.

Greater London, England

English Monarch. Born in Winchester eldest son of King John and Isabella of Angouleme. Henry was only nine when his father died in 1216 and he became King of a rebellious nation. A series of regencies ruled in his place until 1234, when Henry assumed power. Order had been restored during the regency, based on the acceptance of Magna Carta which had curtailed the King’s power over his nobles. Henry married Eleanor of Provence in 1236 and with her had at least two sons and three daughters. In 1230 and 1242 misguided attempts to win back territory in France that had been lost by his father ended in failure. Eventually he was forced to sign away Normandy, Maine, Poitou, Touraine and Anjou. Henry's reign was also marked by civil strife, as the English barons demanded more say in the running of the kingdom. The Provisions of Oxford in 1258 and the Provisions of Westminster in 1259 were attempts by the nobility to define the Magna Carta, control appointments and set up an aristocratic council. Henry tried to out maneuver his nobles by obtaining papal absolution from his oaths. Henry renounced the Provisions in 1262 and civil war broke out. The barons, under the leadership of the King’s brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, forced Henry to accept a program of reform. The struggle with his nobles eventually led to the Battle of Lewes in 1264 where the king and his son were captured and imprisoned. In May 1265 Henry’s son, Prince Edward Longshanks, escaped captivity and rallied his forces, defeating and killing de Montfort at Evesham before taking control of government from his father. Royal authority was restored by the Statute of Marlborough in 1267, in which the king promised to uphold Magna Carta. The rest of Henry’s reign was occupied by resolving the civil problems created by the rebellion. (bio by: Iola)

King Henry, III Memorial

Birth: Oct. 1, 1207 Winchester City of Winchester Hampshire, England Death: Nov. 16, 1272 Westminster City of Westminster Greater London, England

English Monarch. Born in Winchester eldest son of King John and Isabella of Angouleme. Henry was only nine when his father died in 1216 and he became King of a rebellious nation. A series of regencies ruled in his place until 1234, when Henry assumed power. Order had been restored during the regency, based on the acceptance of Magna Carta which had curtailed the King’s power over his nobles. Henry married Eleanor of Provence in 1236 and with her had at least two sons and three daughters. In 1230 and 1242 misguided attempts to win back territory in France that had been lost by his father ended in failure. Eventually he was forced to sign away Normandy, Maine, Poitou, Touraine and Anjou. Henry's reign was also marked by civil strife, as the English barons demanded more say in the running of the kingdom. The Provisions of Oxford in 1258 and the Provisions of Westminster in 1259 were attempts by the nobility to define the Magna Carta, control appointments and set up an aristocratic council. Henry tried to out maneuver his nobles by obtaining papal absolution from his oaths. Henry renounced the Provisions in 1262 and civil war broke out. The barons, under the leadership of the King’s brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort, forced Henry to accept a program of reform. The struggle with his nobles eventually led to the Battle of Lewes in 1264 where the king and his son were captured and imprisoned. In May 1265 Henry’s son, Prince Edward Longshanks, escaped captivity and rallied his forces, defeating and killing de Montfort at Evesham before taking control of government from his father. Royal authority was restored by the Statute of Marlborough in 1267, in which the king promised to uphold Magna Carta. The rest of Henry’s reign was occupied by resolving the civil problems created by the rebellion. (bio by: Iola)

BIOGRAPHY: Henry III (reigned 1216-1272), John's son, was only nine when he became King. By 1227, when he assumed power from his regent, order had been restored, based on his acceptance of Magna Carta. However, the King's failed campaigns in France (1230 and 1242), his choice of friends and advisers, together with the cost of his scheme to make one of his younger sons King of Sicily and help the Pope against the Holy Roman Emperor, led to further disputes with the barons and united opposition in Church and State. Although Henry was extravagant and his tax demands were resented, the King's accounts show a list of many charitable donations and payments for building works (including the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey which began in 1245).
The Provisions of Oxford (1258) and the Provisions of Westminster (1259) were attempts by the nobles to define common law in the spirit of Magna Carta, control appointments and set up an aristocraticcouncil.

Henry III (of England) (1207-72), king of England (1216-72), son and successor of King John (Lackland), and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal, earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciar Hubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During the regency the French, who occupied much of eastern England, were expelled, and rebellious barons were subdued.
Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert de Burgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. Henry displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many of them relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in 1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially in France. In order to secure the throne of Sicily for one of his sons, Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum. When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, they refused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter was referred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decided in Henry's favor in a judgment called the Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and took him prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) south of Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and the barons agreed to a compromise with Edward and his party in 1267. From that time on Edward ruled England, and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king."Henry III (of England)," Microsoft (R) Encarta. Copyright (c) 1994 Microsoft Corporation.

King John and Magna Carta

The Rise of Parliament

Henry III, John's eldest son, was crowned at the age of nine and ruled 56 years, 1216-72. He was pious and well meaning but incompetent and extravagant. The barons took a strong stand against him in Parliament. (The term parliament was gradually coming into use for the Great Council.) In 1264 the barons, led by Simon de Montfort, rose against the king and brought on the Barons' Wars. These wars ended when Earl Simon was killed in battle. (See also Henry, Kings of England; Montfort.)

Henry III's son, Edward I, who ruled England from 1272 to 1307, wisely accepted the limitations on the king's authority. His parliament of 1295 is called the Model Parliament because it included representatives of both shires and towns as well as the Great Council. Many of the laws passed in Edward's reign exist in modified form today.

Edward I conquered and annexed Wales but failed in his effort to subdue Scotland. He died on his way north to put down an uprising led by the Scottish hero Robert Bruce. His incompetent son, Edward II, then took up the task and was decisively defeated by Bruce at Bannockburn. In 1327 Parliament used its new power to depose Edward II and place his son, Edward III, on the throne. (See also Edward, Kings of England.)

!RESEARCH NOTES:
1. The claim that the above couple had a dau. Mary cannot be accepted (See Eng. 120). Possibly this has been misconstrued with the Mary, possible dau. of Edmund "Crouchback", and therefore granddaughter of Henry III. On the suppositionthat Mary was the dau. of Henry III, she was erroneously sealed to the above couple on 18 May 1933. Ordinance work for a supposed son Robert was also erroneously done, and he was sealed to this couple on 14 Mar 1938; however, there is no positive evidence that Henry III had a son Robert.

With the accession of Henry III, the throne of England was occupied by a child for the first time since before the Conquest. Queen Isabella and her children were residing at Gloucester when John diedand, since the greater part of eastern England was in the hands of Louis of France and the rebel barons, it was thought expedient to have the nine-year-old Henry crowned as soon as possible. Since the regalia was at Westminster and therefore not available, and John's personal state crown had been lost in the Wash, the young King was crowned in Gloucester Cathedral by the Bishop of Winchester with a gold torque (or bracelet, according to some accounts) belonging to his mother. The regency was exercised by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, until his death in 1219 and then by Hubert de Burgh. The King's person and education (his mother having retired to her native land at the first opportunity and remarried) were entrusted to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester. Hubert and the Bishopwere soon to become deadly rivals. The French invaders were expelled and the rebel barons brought to heel by the end of 1217 and on Whitsunday 1220 Henry was crowned for a second time in WestminsterAbbey with the full ceremonial.
In order to secure the resumption of the royal castles and demesnes which had passed into private hands during the recent civil war, Henry was formally declared of age by Pope Honorius III in 1223, but his personal rule did not commence until 1227 when he was twenty. Even then, Hubert de Burgh retained a great influence until July 1232 when he was dismissed as Justiciar, accused of filling his own pockets from the royal treasury and other malpractices, and imprisoned. Although he probably was guilty of some of these charges, the King was really using him as a scapegoat for the failure of his own ineffectual expedition to France to recover some of the Continental possessions lost by John. Peter des Roches, who had prudently left the kingdom on the declaration of Henry's majority, now returned to power and appointed his fellow Poitevins to high offices, initiating the long period of bad government for which the weak-willed Henry's reign is best known.
When the barons, headed by Edmund Rich, Archbishop of Canterbury, finally demanded the expulsion of the Poitevins in 1234, Henry assumed the administration himself, filling the high offices of state with his own men. His extortionate taxation, disastrous foreign policy, and the favoritism shown to his wife's foreign relations and his own half-brothers, brought matters to a head and the lay barons of the kingdom found a leader in the person of Henry's brother-in-law Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. In the ensuing civil war Henry and his son Edward were defeated and captured by de Montfort at Lewes in 1264 and the King was forced to summon a parliament and undertake to rule with the advice of a council of barons. While the King submitted, 'the Lord' Edward continued to lead the opposition and Montfort was killed at Evesham in 1265. Thereafter Edward and Henry's brother, Richard of Cornwall, concluded a peace with the remaining rebels.
For the rest of his life Henry remained but a cipher and the forced inactivity eventually resulted in premature senility. The death of his beloved brother Richard was a mortal blow. While praying at St Edmund's shrine in Suffolk, Henry 'began to wax somewhat crasie', in the words of Holinshed. He recovered enough to call a council there, but suffered a relapse and was taken 'with all speed' toLondon, where he died at the Palace of Westminster. He was sixty-five, and had reigned for fifty-six years. By his own directions he was interred in the original coffin of Edward the Confessor, whohad been re buried in a more magnificent one, 'having with his usual simplicity', says Agnes Strickland, 'an idea tht its previous occupation by the royal saint had made it a peculiarly desirable tenement.'
If Henry was a bad king, he was not a bad man, possessing none of his father's viciousness. The troubled realm he inherited would have needed a very strong ruler indeed to restore stability. Henry was not the man for the job and it remained for his far abler son and brother to accomplish it. What Henry lacked in statesmanship was largely compensated by a cultivated mind and a patronage of literature and the arts which had been neglected by his immediate predecessors. His rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, a tribute to his profound veneration for Edward the Confessor, whose relics he personally assisted in carrying to their new shrine on 13 October 1269, was his greatest achievement and it stands today as his most eloquent memorial.
Henry was the first sovereign to use a distinguishing numeral on some of his coins, the inscription on his silver pennies reading 'Henricus Tertius'. His appearance may be deduced from his magnificent tomb effigy, which, though stylized, probably represents a genuine likeness.

Henrik III (født 1. oktober 1207, død 16. november 1272) var konge av England og Lord av Irland fra 28. oktober 1216 til sin død. Han var sønn av Johan av England og Isabella of Angoulême, og da faren døde ble han Englands første barnekonge siden normannernes erobring.

Til tross for at han satt på tronen i hele 56 år, oppnådde han ikke spesielt mye som konge. Blant de få varige minner fra hans tid er at han gjorde Westminster til regjeringens sete, og at han utvidet Westminster Abbey som en helligdom for Edvard Bekjenneren.

Mens han var mindreårig var William Marshal, 1. jarl av Pembroke regent. Landet hadde under hans far gjennomgått en rekke endringer, ikke minst ved at Magna Carta hadde blitt undertegnet. Henrik III brukte mye av sin regjeringstid på å kjempe mot baronene om hvilke rettigheter de egentlig var innrømmet, og han ble i 1264 tvunget til å innkalle det første parlamentet. På kontinentet lyktes han ikke i å gjenetablere engelsk kontroll over Normandie, Anjou og Aquitaine.

Tidlig liv
Henrik ble født i 1207 på Wincester Castle. Da faren døde i 1216 var han bare ni år gammel. Han ble i all hast kronet i Gloucester; baronene hadde under Johans regjeringstid støttet tanken om en fransk invasjon ledet av prins Ludvig med tanke på å erstatte kongen. Man fryktet at de ville benytte sjansen dersom unge Henrik ikke ble kronet raskt.

Baronene så raskt at det å ha en mindreårig monark var til deres fordel. Henriks regenter uttalte straks at de hadde til hensikt å styre i henhold til Magna Carta, noe de gjorde i de årene han var mindreårig. I 1217 ble Magna Carta utstedt på nytt i den nye kongens navn. Regentstyret varte til 1227, da kongen var hele tyve år; dette er lenger enn hva som var vanlig i slike tilfeller.

Kongens innstilling og holdninger
Da Henrik nådde myndighetsalder var han opptatt av å gjenopprette kongelig autoritet. Han så på den franske autokratiske modellen som et forbilde, og giftet seg med Eleanor av Provence og utnevnte en rekke franske slektninger til viktige posisjoner. For eksempel ble Peter des Riveaux kongelig skattmester, vokter for den kongelige garderobe, vokter av geheimeseglet og sheriff for 21 grevskaper. Henrik hadde også en tendens til å styre i lange perioder uten ministre, noe mange av de engelske baronene oppfattet som en fremmed skikk.

Henrik var svært opptatt av helgenkulten til angelsakseren Edvard Bekjenneren, som hadde blitt helligkåret i 1161. Han fikk vite at Edvard kledde seg enkelt, og begynte selv å gjøre det samme. Han fikk malt et veggmaleri i helgenen i sitt soverom, og gav sin eldste sønn navnet Edvard. Westminster, hvor St. Edvard hadde grunnlagt klosteret og kirken Westminster Abbey, ble landets politiske sentrum. Henrik fikk franske arkitekter fra Rheims til å utvide kirken i gotisk stil, et kostbart arbeid som startet i 1245. Den nye helligdommen til Edvard Bekjenneren, som var et fokuspunkt i den utvidede kirken, stod ferdig i 1269.

Kongen var svært from, og hans reiser tok ofte lang tid fordi han insisterte på å ha flere messer hver dag. Under et besøk til det franske hoffet brukte han så lang tid at hans svoger Ludvig IX forbød prester å oppholde seg langs Henriks rute. Roger av Wendover forteller av en gang Henrik møtte pavelige prelater sa han: ?Hvis de visste i hvor stor grad jeg, i min æresfrykt for Gud, er redd for dem og hvor uvillig jeg er til å fornærme dem, ville de tråkke på meg som en gammel og utgått sko?.

Kritikk
Henriks favorisering av utlendinger, spesielt hans kones onkler og hans egne halvsøsken, var ikke populært i folket og blant baronene. Han var også ekstravagant og havesyk; da hans første sønn, prins Edvard, ble født, krevde han at Londonborgerne skulle gi ham kostbare gaver for å feire begivenheten. Gaver som ikke tilfredsstilte ham ble returnert. Matthew Paris forteller at noen sa at ?Gud gav oss dette barnet, men kongen selger ham til oss?.

En uvanlig gave fra Norge
Fra Windsor sendte kong Henrik 30. oktober 1252 et brev hvor han skriver:

Instruks fra kong Henry [III] av England til sheriffene i London: Den isbjørnen som kongen nylig fikk tilsendt fra Norge og nå oppholder seg i Tower, skal utstyres med munnkurv og jernkjettinger, og dessuten et godt tau til å holde den med når den fisker i Themsen.

Henrik hadde altså mottatt en isbjørn, en meget eksotisk gave i 1200-tallets England.

Kriger og opprør
Henriks regjeringstid ble preget av indre uro fordi baronene, ledet av Simon de Montfort, krevde å få mer innflytelse. De Montfort, som selv var født i Frankrike, hadde fra starten av kommet dårlig overens med Henriks franske rådgivere. Etter å ha giftet seg med kongens søster Eleanor uten å be om kongens velsignelse brøt det ut en feide mellom de to. I 1250-årene nådde feiden et høydepunkt, da de Montfort ble tiltalt under tynne anklager omkring handlinger foretatt mens han var løytnant av Gascogne. Han ble frikjent av landets adel, noe kongen satte lite pris på.

Kongen ble også blandet inn i å betale for en krig på Sicilia på pavens vegne. Som motytelse fikk han en pavelig tittel til sin andre sønn, Edmund. Mange av baronene fryktet denne utviklingen, idet de så likhetstrekk med måten kongens far styrte på. De Montfort ble en leder for de som ville presse gjennom Magna Carta og tvinge kongen til å gi mer makt til baronene. I 1258 tvang syv ledende baroner kongen til å godta Oxford-avtalen, som i praksis medførte slutten på det anglo-normanniske eneveldet idet den gav et råd bestående av femten baroner makt til å ta seg av regjeringsspørsmål, og nedfelte at det skulle innkalles et parlament hvert tredje år for å overvåke dette rådet. Henrik måtte ta del i en felles edsavleggelse som en del av avtalen.

Året etter ble de som støttet kongen og de som støttet de Montfort mer polarisert. Henrik fikk en pavelig bulle som fritok ham fra eden, og begge sider begynte å samle hærstyrker. Rojalistene ble ledet av prins Edvard. En borgerkrig, kjent som baronenes andre krig, brøt ut i 1264, og varte til 1267.

I 1263 hadde de Montfort og hans allierte kontroll over det meste av det sørøstlige England, og i slaget ved Lewes den 14. mai 1264 ble kongen slått og tatt til fange. Han ble redusert til en marionettekonge, mens de Montfort utvidet representasjonen i parlamentet til å gjelde ikke bare baronene, men også alle grevskaper og en rekke byer. Kongen og arveprinsen ble holdt i husarrest, og perioden var det nærmeste England kom en avskaffelse av monarkiet før samveldetiden 1660-1660. Mange av baronene som opprinnelig støttet de Montfort begynte å tenke at han hadde gått for langt i sine reformer.

Etter bare femten måneder ble prins Edvard satt fri av sin fetter Roger Mortimer, og kunne lede rojalistene i felt igjen. I slaget ved Evesham i 1265 seiret han, og tok en fryktelig hevn på opprørerne.

Familie
Henrik III giftet seg den 14. januar 1236 i Canterburykatedralen med Eleanor av Provence. De fikk minst fem barn:

Edvard I (1239-1307)
Margaret (1240-1275), gift med Alexander III av Skottland
Beatrice (1242-1275), gift med Jean II, hertug av Bretagne
Edmund Crouchback (1245-1296)
Katharine (1253-1257)
Ifølge et 1300-talls tillegg til manuskriptet Flores historiarum skal Henrik og Eleanor også ha hatt barna Richard, John og Henry. Det finnes ingen samtidige kilder som nevner disse. Sønnen William er også nevnt, noe som regnes for å være en sammenblanding med nevøen William de Valence. I krøniken fra Hayles Abbey nevnes datteren Matilda; det er ingen andre kilder, og hun nevnes sammen med fiktive barn av Johan uten land og Edvard I, så det er svært tvilsomt om hun eksisterte.

Utseende
Det er usikkert hvor realistiske de avbildninger som finnes av Henrik III er. Nicholas Trevet forteller at han var en tykkfallen mann, av middels høyde og med en smal panne. Hans venstre øyelokk var alltid delvis lukket, et trekk Edvard I arvet fra ham.

Død
Henrik III døde i 1272, og ble etterfulgt av sin sønn Edvard.

Mens en sarkofag ble laget til ham i Westminster Abbey ble hans legeme lagt i Edvard Bekjennerens grav.

Henry was crowned King at the age of nine after the death of his FatherKing John in 1216. The kingdom was ruled by William Marshall, Earl ofPembroke, the regent while Henry was growing up. When Marshall died in1219, Hubert de Burgh ruled until 1232, when Henry assumed the throne."The Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages" Norman F. Cantor, General Editor.

REF: British Monarchy Official Website: Henry III (reigned 1216-1272),John's son, was only nine when he became king. By 1227, when he assumedpower from his regent, order had been restored based on his acceptance ofMagna Carta. However, the king's failed campaigns in France, his choiceof foreigners as friends and advisers, together with the cost of hisscheme to make one of
his younger sons king of Sicily and help the Pope against the Holy RomanEmperor, led to further disputes with the barons and united opposition inChurch and State. The Provisions of Oxford (1258) and the Provisions ofWestminster (1259 were attempts by the nobles to curb the king's power,control appointments and set up an aristocratic council. Henry renouncedthe Provisions in 1264 and war broke out. The barons under their leader,Simon de
Montfort, were initially successful, but Henry and his son, Edward,finally defeated and killed de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265.Royal authority was restored by the Statute of Marlborough (1267), inwhich the king also promised to uphold Magna Carta and some of theProvisions of Westminster.

REF: Sharon Kay Penman "Falls the Shadow": In April 1258, Henry'sbrother Richard of Cornwall sent 50 ships of grain from Duitsland (whereRichard was chasing the elusive crown of Duitsland) to London to helpalleviate the famine, Henry siezed the ships & tried to sell them atinflated prices. This enraged the general populace of London, Henrybacked down but they remained bitter. After Henry reconciled with PrinceEdward through the mediation of Richard of Cornwall (Henry thought Edwardwas plotting with Simon de Montfort), Henry attempted to try de Montforton charges of perjery & "lesse-majeste". The Barons on the King'sCouncil baulked & Louis IX was dismayed by Henry's bad faith, & sent theArchbishop of Rouen to defend de Montfort, Henry backed off. In June1261 Henry borrows from his father John's tricks & gets the Pope to annulthe Oxford Provisions, even as John did with the Magna Charta. TheBarons nearly revolt over this, with even Richard de Clare, Earl ofGloucester, siding with de Montfort. Later, de Clare defects from deMontfort & comes to a "private understanding" with Henry & de Montofrt's"common enterprise" unravels. Simon withdraws to France. In July 1262,Henry follows de Montfort into France & tries to have him arraignedbefore the French King, Louis IX, but the attempt fails. Simon returns toEngland April 1263, which most felt meant a precursor to war. May 1263the de Montfort supporters meet & vow all are enemies who do not supportthe Provisions save the King & his family. Henry held fast, the barons'discontent flared into violence & Simon's supporter the Earl of Derbysacked the town of Worcester & burned the Jewry. May 1263 the young Earlof Gloucester led an Army west & captured the Bishop of Hereford, themost hated of the foreign advisors to Henry III then left after theexpulsion of the de Lusignans. He threw the Bishop into prison, laidsiege to the royal castle at Gloucester, where de Montfort assumedcommand. The army then went north to Bridgenorth, where they coordinatedtheir attack with Llywelyn ap Gruffydd; the twon & castle surrendered.de Montfort then headed south for London, where a panicked Henry tookrefuge in the Tower. In June 1263 Prince Edward's foreign Flemish troopsburned Bristol; the populace rose up & besieged him & his army in thecastle. The Bishop of Worcester placated the townsfolk by takingEdward's pladge to make peace with de Montfort & the barons (which Edwardhad no intention of honoring his pledge). In October 1263 Richard Dukeof Cornwall (Henry's brother) son Henry defected to Montfort. Simonreceived a triumphal entry into London July 1263 & Henry capitulated atthe Tower of London on July 13, 1263.

Reigned 1216-1272. A minor when he took the throne he did not take thereigns
of Government himself until 1234. Baronian discontent simmered, boilingover
in 1258 when Henry facing financial disaster attempted to raise largesums
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 Hnery ceeded much ofhis power to his son. Henry III ran afoul of his barons (again) when herequested a large amount of money to aid him in putting down Gaston deBÃarn's 2nd rebellion in Gascony, saying that de BÃarn's ally St.Ferdinand III King of Castile was going to invade Gascony, but just as hesaid this, Simon de Montfort returned to England & told the barons thatHenry was actually negotiating with the St. Ferdinand III to marry hisdaughter Eleanor to Henry's son Crown Prince Edward "Longshanks" (deMontfort's commetns were true). At this point, with Henry's manydebacles, his lack of resolve & constancy, the reforms were going to bemade with or without his participation.

REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: William the Conquerorrequested a large number of Jews to move to England after his conquest.They spoke Norman & did well under his reign. They continued to thriveunder William's grandson Henry II. When Richard was coronated, he did so"in a bath of Jewish blood." John merely taxed them very heavily, "bledthem white". The Jews did the worst of all under the pious Henry III asduring his reign the church felt threatened by violence, war, schism &heresy. The church encouraged Jewish pogroms & spread rumors of grislyrituals & murders committed by Jews. Henry, as a faithful son of thechurch, did nothing to restrain it.

He reigned 1216 to 1272. He was a minor when he took the throne and didn't really start ruling until 1234. He and the Barons had much discontent between each other. He attempted to raise large sums of money from them and later agreed to reforms with them, but then renounced them. Simon de Montford led a rebellion against him (the Baron Wars; see notes for his son, Edward I) which was defeated after initial success.
