Edward I was born at Westminster in 1239, and was named for his fatherHenry III's favourite saint, Edward the Confessor. He was heir to widedomains and many troubles, and had an early taste of both. In 1252 hewas given charge of the troublesome but lucrative Gascon territories.Two years later he was married to Eleanor of Castile---a politicalmarriage, but one that was to turn into a love-match.
There was little time to enjoy it at first, for Edward was now pitchedinto the discords of the English baronial revolt. His father wasneither a good leader of men, nor a good soldier, so the burden wasthrust upon his young son. The barons' leader, Simon de Montfort, wasEdward's uncle, and there is no doubt that the prince was bothattracted to his uncle's ideas of government, and also deeplyinfluenced by his military tactics. But after the defeat at Lewes, anda humiliating imprisonment, his admiration turned to hostility, whichwas only sated with the rout of Evesham in 1265.
In the next few years he acted as a moderating influence on hisfather's vindictive wrath, and saw to it that the settlement with thebaronial opposition should not in itself provoke a further uprising.
In 1270 he was at last able to go off on crusade, when he broughtrelief to Acre. His military reputation now soared, and in 1272 hesuffered an attack from an assassin, in which he was grazed by apoisoned dagger in the scuffle. He recovered, and was able tonegotiate a ten-year truce before returning home, covered with honour.
On landing in Sicily he heard of his father's death, but he did nothurry to get back to England, spending a whole year settling hisaffairs in Gascony first. It was 1274 before England saw him. Onceproperly seated on the throne, however, he gave every evidence of hisvigour and determination to rule. Within two months of the coronation,commissioners were scouring the land completing a survey as large andefficient as any that had been understaken since Domesday. Thecommissioners enquired into encroachments upon royal rights, and intoinjustices committed by the king's servants; their detailed reportsare know to historians as the Hundred Rolls, based as they were on theadministrative unit of the hundred.
The evidence of the Hundred Rolls was to be the basis of Edward'slegislative reforms. A long series of statutes, enacted at theenlarged parliaments introduced by Simon de Montfort, aimed at theimprovement of justice at the local as well as the national level, andalso tried to rationalise the bewildering array of jurisdictions,known as liberties, the feudal government had seen grow up. Edward hada genuine concern to see justice done, which gained for him the deepadmiration of his subjects. He was also very well informed about thelocalities, for he was constantly on the move, covering distances ofabout 2,000 miles a year, with a court of perhaps a thousand horseslumbering behind him on the muddy and dangerous medieval roads.
Much larger groups travelled with him when he went to war, and Waleswas the first to see his unwelcome visitation. Llewellyn, Prince ofWales, had rather foolishly refused to do homage for his lands atEdward's coronation, and in 1277 the King attacked and reduced hisdominions by half. Five years later the Prince's brother David rose inrebellion, and Llewellyn was forced to join him, only to be killed ina petty foray. With no great leader left to them, the Welsh submittedto annexation, and saw gigantic castles rise in key-points such asConway, Caernarvon and Harlech, castles that would prevent futurerevolt. Edward was an arrant colonist, and typically brought back fromWales the great cross of Neath to carry in procession to Westminsterfor the service of thanksgiving. The Abbey was to see many more proudtrophies plundered for its decoration and distinction.
Edward was eager to be off to Palestine once more, but the Europeansituation prevented a new crusade: France and Aragon struggled overthe body of Sicily, and the Pope was hopelessly committed as apartisan. Edward now spent long months attempting to bring peace toEurope so that the Christian nations could unite in crusade.
His design for Europe was interrupted by troubles at home. In hisprolonged absence corruption throve, and in 1289 the King was forcedto conduct an enquiry which resulted, among other things, in thebanishment of his chief justice. The same year he had to go north toconvene the court that was to judge between the various 'competitors'for the throne of Scotland. The legalism fascinated him, but in themiddle of this interesting judicial wrangle, his wife died. He washeartbroken, and as he accompanied the body from Lincolnshire toLondon, he ordered elaborate crosses to be set up wherever the cortègerested. The last was Charing Cross. A most beautiful monument was setup in Westminster Abbey, and those who view it can see something ofEdward's loss.
Back in Scotland he finally adjudged John Balliol's claim for thecrown to be the best, but forced him to accept vassal status as a quidpro quo. Years of trouble lay ahead: the French made war, the Welshrebelled, and the Pope made life extrememly difficult for thehard-pressed English king. He continued to demand Edward's presence oncrusade---which he would have dearly loved, but found impossible; hisonly contribution was the expulsion of Jews in 1290. Furthermore thePope had suddenly issued a Bull declaring that the state had no rightto tax the clergy, and Edward was desperately short of money for waron three fronts.
These diffficulties explain but do not excuse the viciousness of hisactions in the next few years. Scotland had refused to accept him asoverlord, and he annexed the land, deposed Balliol, and removed theStone of Scone to Westminster Abbey in 1296. When Wallace rose as aleader in Scotland, Edward increased the fury of his attack; therebels received no mercy.
Gradually the King seemed to be achieving his aims. France wassatisfied by his marriage to the sister of the French king, and by1304 Scotland seemed well under his heel, controlled by a policy ofruthless savagery. Edward could at last turn his attention back toEnglish affairs, where disorder was rampant. New justices were sentround on the 'Trailbaston' commission to seek out the unsavoury RobinHoods of the land, and gradually order returned.
Inagine then the fury of the aged king when, in 1306, Robert Bruce,who had been his man for the past four years, suddenly went north andwas crowned King of Scots. Old, tired, and sick, Edward moved upcountry to deal with this fresh menace to peace, but was taken veryill on the way. He had to direct the campaign from his bed, andvitriolic letters showered on his commanders accusing them of inactionand failure.
In a last tremendous effort the King got up and gave his litter toCarlisle Cathedral---a typical gesture, again---and set off onhorseback. The progress was desperately slow---some two miles aday---but even that was too fast for the sick king, who quicklysuccumbed and died in July 1307.
Son and father of weak and inefffectual kings, Edward I had many finequalities which seem to make nonsence of heredity. He was tall andstrong, a fine horseman and a doughty warrior. A great leader of men,he was also able to lead to success. He was interested in governmentand law in a very genuine way. As a personality he was pious, buteasily provoked to rage and often vindictive. He was fond ofgames---so passionately did he love his hawks that when they were illhe sent money to shrines to pray for their recovery. He was generousto the poor, and often a gay companion: he played chess, and lovedmusic and acrobats; once he bet his laundress Matilda that shecouldn't ride his charger, and she won! Every Easter Monday he paidransom to his maids if they found him in bed. He loved his two wives,and fussed over their health and that of his children with a patheticconcern---sometimes threatening the doctor with what would happen tohim if his patient did not recover. His people feared, respected andremembered him.
EARLDOM OF CHESTER
IX EDWARD Plantaganet, Longshanks, Earl of Chester, King of England(1272-1307), the third son of Henry III and his wife Eleanor, was bornat Westminster on June 17, 1239 and during the reign of his fathertook active part in political affairs. On 14 February 1253/4 he wascreated the Earl of Chester. He was taken prisoner at Lewes in 1264,delivering the Earldom to Simon de Montfort who was slain at thebattle of Evesham, 4 August 1265, whereby the Earldom of Chesterreturned to Edward. In 1272 he went on a Crusade as far as Acre, wherehis daughter Joan was born, and although he inherited the crown thatyear, he did not return to England until 1274, being crowned on August19, 1274. It is significant of the times that he was able to thus movein a leisurely fashion across Europe without fear of disturbances athome. He fully accepted those articles of The Great Charter (MagnaCharta) of King John which had been set aside at the beginning of hisfather's reign, and which required that the king should levy scutagesand aids only with the consent of the Great Council or Parliament. Thefurther requirement of the barons that they should name the ministersof the crown was allowed to fall into disuse. Edward was a capableruler, and knew how to appoint better ministers than the barons werelikely to choose for him. He was eminent not only as a ruler but as alegislator and succeeded in enacting many wise laws, because he knewthat useful legislation is possible only when the legislator has anintelligent perception of the remedies needed to meet existing evils,and is willing to content himself with such remedies as those personswho are to be benefited by them are ready to accept. The firstcondition was fulfilled by Edward's own skill as a lawyer, and by theskill of the great lawyers whom he employed. The second condition wasfulfilled by his determination to authorize no new legislation withoutthe counsel and acquiescence of those who were most affected by it.Not until late in his reign did he call a whole parliament together asEarl Simon de Montfort had done. Instead, he called the baronstogether in any manner which affected the barons, and therepresentatives of the townsmen together in any manner which affectedthe townsmen, and so with other classes. In 1295 he summoned the"Model Parliament," so called because it became the form for futureParliaments.
Every king of England since the Norman Conquest had exercisedauthority in a twofold capacity: (1) as head of the nation and (2) asthe feudal lord of his vassals. Edward laid more stress than anyformer king upon his national headship. Early in his reign he dividedthe Curis Regis into three courts: (1) The Court of King's Bench, todeal with criminal offenses reserved for the king's judgment and withsuits in which he was himself concerned; (2) The Court of Exchequer,to deal with all matters touching the king's revenue; and (3) TheCourt of Common Pleas, to deal with suits between subject and subject.Edward took care that these Courts should administer justice, anddismissed judges and many other officials for corruption. In 1285 heimproved the Assize of Arms of King Henry II., to assure nationalsupport for his government in time of danger. His favorite motto "KeepTroth" indicates the value he placed upon a man's oath.
Alexander III. was King of Scotland in the earlier part of Edward'sreign, and his ancestors had done homage to Edward's ancestors, but,in 1189, William the Lion had purchased from Richard I possessionswhich Henry II. had acquired by the treaty of Falaise. The Lion'ssuccessors, however, held lands in England, and had done homage forthem to the English kings. Edward would gladly have restored the oldpractice of homage for Scotland itself, but to this Alexander hadnever consented. Edward coveted the prospect of being lord of theentire island, as it would not only strengthen his position, but wouldbring the two nations into peaceful union. A prospect of effecting aunion by peaceful means offered itself to Edward in 1285, whenAlexander III. was killed by a fall from his horse, near Kinghorn.Alexander's only descendant was his grand-daughter Margaret, the childof his daughter and King Eric of Norway. In 1290 it was agreed thatshe should marry the Prince of Wales but that the two kingdoms shouldremain absolutely independent of each other. Unfortunately the Maid ofNorway, as the child was called, died on her way to Scotland and thisplan for establishing friendly relations between the two countriescame to naught. If it has succeeded, three centuries of warfare andmisery might possibly have been avoided.
Edward I. married in 1254 (1) Eleanor of Castile, daughter ofFerdinand III, King of Castile and Leon, and his wife Jeanne ofDammartin, who was the daughter of Simon Dammartin and his wife,Marie, Countess of Ponthieu, and on her death in 1279 that countrycame by descent to Eleanor. Jeanne of Dammartin died on November 20,1290. Her body was brought for burial from Lincoln to Westminster, andthe bereaved husband ordered the erection of a memorial cross at eachplace where the body rested. The years that followed were filled withwars with France and with difficulties in Scotland. Edward marriedSeptember 8, 1299 (2) Margaret of France, daughter of Philip III.,King of France. King Edward died, during the third invasion ofScotland, at Burgh-on-the-Sands near Carlisle, July 8, 1307, and wasburied at Westminster. Margaret, the second wife of King Edward I.,died February 14, 1317 and was buried at Grey Friars, London. It wasKing Edward I. who first conferred the title Prince of Wales, thusdesignating the fourth son, Edward, who was the oldest to survive, andwho later became Edward II., King of England. The children of KingEdward I. and his first wife, Eleanor of Castile were as follows (Ref:Parsons, "The Year of Eleanor of Castile's Birth and Her Children byEdward I." Medieval Studies, xlvi (1984), pp 249- 265, where Parsonslists 14 children with the probable existence of 2 more unnamed).

"The chin and lips were intire, [sic] but without any beard; and asinking, or dip, between the chin and under-lip, was very conspicuous.Both the lips were prominent; the nose short, as if shrunk; but theapertures of the nostrils were visible. There was an unusual fall, orcavity, on that part of the bridge of the nose which separates theorbits of the eyes; and some globular substance. possibly the fleshypart of the eye-balls, was movable in their sockets under theenvelope."

Eleanor OF CASTILE, Spanish LEONOR DE CASTILLA (b. 1246--d. Nov. 28,1290, Harby, Nottinghamshire, Eng.), queen consort of King Edward I ofEngland (ruled 1272-1307). Her devotion to Edward helped bring out hisbetter qualities; after her death, his rule became somewhat arbitrary.Eleanor was the daughter of King Ferdinand III of Castile and hiswife, Joan of Ponthieu.
In 1254 Eleanor was married to Lord Edward, son of England's KingHenry III. In honour of the event, her half brother, Alfonso X ofCastile, transferred to Edward his claims to Gascony. When Henry III'sbaronial opponents seized power in England in 1264, Eleanor was sentfor safety to France; she returned in October 1265, after Edward hadcrushed the rebels.
Eleanor accompanied Edward on a crusade from 1270 to 1273. The storythat she saved his life at Acre (now in Israel) by sucking poison froma dagger wound is evidently apocryphal. After Edward ascended thethrone, Eleanor was criticized for allegedly mistreating the tenantson her lands. Upon her death, Edward erected the famous EleanorCrosses--several of which still stand--at each place where her coffinrested on its way to London. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '907]

General Notes: That this family was of great antiquity in the county of Lancaster isevident from the register of Cokersand Abbey, to which religious housesome of its members were benefactors in King John's time. The firstperson of the name of any note was Robert de Holand, who was in thewars of Scotland, 31st Edward I [1303] and who owed his advancement tohis becoming secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, for previously hehad been but a "poor knight." In the 1st Edward II [1307], he obtainedlarge territorial grants from the crown, viz., the manors of Melburne,Newton, Osmundeston, Swarkeston, Chelardeston, Normanton, andWybeleston, in the county of Derby, and the same year had a militarysummons to march against the Scots. In the 8th Edward II [1315], hewas first summoned to parliament as a baron; and in the 10th and 12th,he was again in the wars of Scotland, in which latter year he hadlicense to make a castle of his manor house of Bagworth, co.Leicester. Upon the insurrection of his old master, Thomas, Earl ofLancaster (15th Edward II), his lordship promised that nobleman, towhom he owed his first rise in the world, all the aid in his power,but failing to fulfill his engagement, Lancaster was forced to flynorthwards and was finally taken prisoner at Boroughbridge, when LordHoland rendered himself to the king at Derby and was sent prisoner toDover Castle. For this duplicity he became so odious to the peoplethat, being afterwards made prisoner a second time, in a wood nearHenley Park, toward Windsor, he was beheaded on the nones of October,anno 1328, and his head sent to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, then atWaltham Cross, co. Essex, by Sir Thomas Wyther and some other privatefriends.

Maud, one of the daus. and co-heirs of Alan le Zouch,of Ashby, and had issue, Robert, Thomas, Alan, Otho, Jane, and Mary.Robert, Lord Holand, was s. by his eldest son, Sir Robert Holand, 2ndbaron.

Happily thatcontingency did not arise, for she was living at the time of theBattle of Crescy was fought in 1346, 30 years after the agreement wasentered into, and had borne her husband a son, David, and twodaughters, Ellen and Isabel. After her death Phil Egerton married asecond wife, Maud, daughter of Richard Vernon. Philip Egerton, likehis predecessors, was an accumulator of lands. Some time after his 1stmarriage he purchased from Hugh de Wardhull certain lands in Wardleand also certain other tenements in Egerton. On account of his staturehe was surnamed "the Long."

Dear Newsgroup ~
Since making my post on Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun yesterday, I've
checked my files and found further confirmation which I believe
conclusively proves that Eleanor was the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun
(died 1275), Earl of Hereford and Essex. The evidence consists of two
separate cases of consanguinity among descendants of Eleanor (de
Bohun) de Verdun where they intermarried with their Bohun related
kinfolk.
In the first instance, my notes record that there was a papal
dispensation recorded in 1334, for the marriage of Maud de Grey and
John de Lisle, 2nd Lord Lisle, of Rougement. As I recall, this
dispensation is mentioned by Complete Peerage sub Lisle. Maud and
John were stated to be related in the 4th degree in their petition for
a dispensation (i.e., third cousins to each other). Maud de Grey was
great-granddaughter of Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun. John de Lisle
was great-grandson of Alice (de Bohun) de Tony. If the degree of
kinship was correctly stated in the papal registers, it would appear
that Maud's ancestress, Eleanor de Bohun, and John's ancestress, Alice
de Bohun, were sisters. Since Alice is known to have been a daughter
of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex (died 1275), this in
turn tells us that Eleanor was daughter of the same Humphrey de Bohun.
In the second instance, my notes record there was a papal inquiry in
1334 regarding the marriage of Margaret Basset and John de Bohun, Earl
of Hereford and Essex. Margaret Basset was a great-granddaughter of
Eleanor (de Bohun) de Verdun. Margaret and her husband, John, were
closely related, but my notes don't tell how closely related the two
parties were, if the degree of kinship was stated. To resolve the
question of kinship, the Pope summoned a host of relatives of the
young couple. Among those summoned were several of Margaret Basset's
Grey relatives as well as Alice de Tony, widow of Walter de Beauchamp,
and her daughter and son-in-law, Margaret and Robert de Lisle. The
people required to give testimony presumably all had a tie to the
Bohun family. If nothing else, this document provides added evidence
that the Greys, Tonys, Beauchamps and Lisles all share a common
descent from the Bohun family.

General Notes: [Master File.ftw]
Reigned 1216-1272. A minor when he took the throne he did not take thereigns
of Government himself until 1234. Baronian discontent simmered,boiling over
in 1258 when Henry facing financial disaster attempted to raise largesums
from his magnates. Reforms were agreed upon but then renouced byHenry. Simon
de Montford lead a rebellion against the King (the Barons Wars) whichwas
defeated after initial success, thereafter Henry ceeded much of hispower to
his son. Burke say he was born 10 Oct 1206 and married 14 Jan, crowned1216.
Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throneof England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civilwar and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England wasunder the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two greatprotectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.
The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomaticability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than twoyears later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: thepapal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter desRoches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, choseHubert to be his chief counsellor.
Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority.Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised theirpowers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughtyjusticiar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underlinethe annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quellingrebellions.
Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the Frenchking Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, andHenry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriagewith Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly preparedEnglish force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all itwas able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.
Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and hisarrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provokeda Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert wasthrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins.But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had nevertaken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshalcombined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to forcethe King to replace them.
Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to seewhat sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustfulon first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people lethim down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another sideof his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictivecruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building andrestoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who hadbeen proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit ofan interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of hisartistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, butHenry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic.He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.
The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a badstate after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henrytravelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them morecomfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on buildingworks. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, andcould not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job mustbe 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built orrestored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The paintedchamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high.The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry andcellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. Thesubjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year laterthe walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling withSaladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King'sfavourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floorswere tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when anattempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had thevent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplacesprovided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere,including the room where the royal head was washed.
If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his publicdisplay of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined inthe royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel.His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on whichhe spent nearly £50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He hadbeen so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted toput it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, sohe had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put upthe inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this isthe house of houses.'
For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughterof the Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finestmatch in Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the EmperorFrederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuadedthe Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of theRomans.
On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting hismother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was tocontinue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had nodesire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the FrenchKing's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Pariswent to draw in the Tower of London.
In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and hegenerously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out theirorphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they tookmore, milking the land as hard as they could in the last momentsbefore bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price,and foreign-ness.
In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---thePope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford tolose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy'sdesparate need for money to prosecute its war against theHohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeedfrequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for hisfoolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily forhis son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debtsof the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned downthis bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if hecould reach it.
Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. Duringthe period of his personal government he obtained what he needed bygetting legalists and professional civil servants to manipulate thecomplex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited. Governmentbecame a secret and centralised affair, excluding the barons, greatand small. There are many comparisons here with the tyranny of ChalesI.
In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henryshould exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission ofenquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crownofficials, examine and reform local government, and supervise theaffairs of the realm in general.
This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assesshow deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voicedby Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in thebaronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary,wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On thisissue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, andde Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using theever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.
Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, thoughprone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son,the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry wasrescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'
Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled tohideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobonopersuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266,as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied,the disinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, andRichard of Cornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute ofMarlborough embodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and thelong years of trouble were over.
Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that hefininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheelof fortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had comeround, and all the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.[Source: Who's Who in the Middle Ages, John Fines, Barnes & NobleBooks, New York, 1995]
