About this listen
Initially published by Peter Owen Publishers, 2013
FROM THE BACK PAGE
Henry III’s reign was the longest of any king in medieval Europe, spanning an unprecedented 56 years from 1216 until 1272. The first child king in England for 200 years, his time on the throne oversaw more significant change than any other monarch, in which England prospered.
Though often overlooked by historians, Henry III was a unique figure emerging from this chivalric yet gothic era. A compulsive builder of daunting castles and glorious cathedrals, Henry was an intelligent, graceful monarch who faced down three civil wars, as well as feuds with Wales and France. The son of King John and the father of Edward I, Henry, much more than his father, hammered out the terms of Magna Carta with the barons before facing down Simon de Montfort’s rebellion forty years later.
In an updated version of what, at the time of its initial publication, was the first biography of Henry III in more than a century, John Paul Davis brings all his forensic skills and insights to the grand story of England’s Gothic King in this, a unique insight into the life of one of our most remarkable monarchs.
