Description
Henry III was a medieval king whose long reign had a profound impact on England's development. He ruled for 56 years, transforming the country from a French-speaking dynasty to a medieval state with an English parliament.
Despite his central role in the emergence of parliament and the modernisation of institutions, Henry is often overshadowed by his most famous opponent, Simon de Montfort. However, this book offers a fresh perspective on Henry's life and reign, shedding light on his significance and achievements.
Part of the Penguin Monarchs series, this account provides a concise and expert overview of England's rulers in a highly collectible format.
