• Notes

  Henry, the nine-year old son of King John, became king in 1216. For th e next decade or so, England was more or less governed by his advisors . When Henry grew to manhood he had troubles with the barons just lik e his father did. Simon de Montfort was the earl of Leicester and mar ied to Henry's sister. In 1258, Montfort led a baronial movement agai st the king. The Provisions of Oxford were imposed on Henry III, rest icting the king's power. The king ruled with the consent of a counci l and needed to call Parliament three times a year. Henry began to ign ore the provisions. So, Montfort went to France. The earl returned i 1263 and started making some trouble. The barons won an important ba ttle in 1264. But in 1265, they were defeated at the battle of Evesha m by the future Edward I. Montfort was brutally mutilated and killed . He became a martyr and a cult sprang up around him. During Montfort 's rebellion, the barons imprisoned Peter of Aigueblanche, the bisho p of Hereford. Elizabeth Hallam states that Henry was pious and hones t, but he also had the Plantagenet temper of his forefathers. This kin g was also supposed to be stupid and not a realist.
