Henry III was a medieval king whose long reign continues to have a profound impact on us today He was on the throne for 56 years & during this time England was transformed from being the private play-thing of a French speaking dynasty into a medieval state in which the king answered for his actions to an English parliament which emerged during Henry's lifetime Despite Henry's central importance for the birth of parliament & the development of a state recognisably modern in many of its institutions it is Henry's most vociferous opponent Simon de Montfort who is in many ways more famous than the monarch himself Henry is principally known today as the driving force behind the building of Westminster Abbey but he deserves to be better understood for many reasons

- David Carpenter author of The Reign of King Henry IIIHenry III (1207-72) reigned for 56 years the longest-serving English monarch until the modern era Although knighted by William Marshal he was no warrior king like his uncle Richard the Lionheart He preferred to feed the poor to making war & would rather spend time with his wife & children than dally with mistresses & lord over roundtables He sought to replace the dull projection of power imported by his Norman predecessors with a more humane & open-hearted monarchy But his ambition led him to embark on bold foreign policy initiatives to win back the lands & prestige lost by his father King John This set him at odds with his increasingly insular barons & clergy now emboldened by the protections of Magna Carta In one of the great political duels of history Henry struggled to retain the power & authority of the crown against radical reformers like Simon de Montfort He emerged victorious but at a cost both to the kingdom & his reputation among historians Yet his long rule also saw extraordinary advancements in politics & the arts from the rise of the parliamentary state & universities to the great cathedrals of the land including Henry's own enduring achievement Westminster Abbey

Edited introduced & annotated by Cedric Watts Research Professor of English Literature University of Sussex In Henry IV Part 1 the King is in a doubly ironic position His rebellion against Richard II was successful but now he himself is beset by rebels led by the charismatic Harry Hotspur The King's son Prince Hal seems to be more concerned with the pleasures of the tavern world & the company of the fat rogue Falstaff than with concerns of state Eventually however Hal proves a courageous foe of the rebels This history play is lively in its interplay of political intrigue & boisterous comedy subtle in the connections between high statecraft & low craftiness exuberant in its range of vivid characters & memorable in its thematic concern with honour loyalty & the quest for power In Henry IV Part 2 the King is ailing Falstaff is ageing & the kingdom itself where rebellion is still rife seems diseased or debilitated The comedy has a melancholy undertone & the politics verge on the Machiavellian Eventually the resourceful Hal inheriting the crown as Henry V must prove that he can uphold justice in the realm Here Shakespeare demonstrates a mastery of thematic complexity & subtlety & shows the price in human terms that may be exacted by political success ...

an intelligence network and strategic marriages of his children (legitimate and illegitimate) he was able to undermine the various coalitions mounted against him Henry strove throughout his reign to solidify the Anglo-Norman dynasty and his marriage linked the Normans to the Old English line Hollister vividly describes Henry's life and reign places them against the political background of the time and provides analytical studies of the king and his magnates the royal administration and relations between king and church The resulting volume is one that will be welcomed by students and general readers alike
