Notes:

King Henry III came to the throne in 1216 when he was only nine years old, but
did not rule until he came of age in 1227. Henry was a fickle tyrant who
surrounded himself with favorites from other countries. The English nobles
revolted against his rule and the foreign influences in his court. They forced
Henry to grant the Provisions of Oxford, which transferred governing powers to
a committee of barons. Later, Henry broke the agreement and raised an army.
But he was defeated and captured at the battle of Lewes in 1264.

Simon de Montfort, leader of the reform party, then governed England until he
was killed at the battle of Evesham in 1265 by Henry's son, Edward. Edward
ruled the country during the rest of Henry's lifetime.

Henry III King Of England was married at Cantebury Cathedral, Canterbury,
Kent, England and was buried at Westminster Abbey where his altar-tomb and
that of his wife can be seen today.

Stuart has birth date October 1207 and death 16 June 1272.

Notes:

John "Lackland" King Of England was known as one of England's worst kings. His barons forced him to grant the famous charter of liberties, Magna Carta, in 1215. He was often cruel, but he showed both administrative and military ability.

John succeeded his brother Richard the Lion-Hearted as king of England and duke of Normandy in 1199. His rule began badly. By inept politics and the murder of his nephew Arthur, he lost the allegiance of many of his French barons. King Philip Augustus of France then declared war. In 1205 John was beaten, and lost all the English holdings in France except Aquitaine.

John persued a policy in England that brought him into conflict with Pope Innocent III. In 1208 the pope placed England under an interdict, which banned church services. The following year John was excommunicated.

The king then showed his capacity for strong rule. He forced Scotland into a subordinate position, kept the Welsh princes in check, and held a firm grip on Ireland. But his foreign favorites, professional troops, and autocratic financial policy stirred up discontent among the English barons. When John failed to reconquer the lost French territories in 1214, most of the barons and many of the clergy revolted. On June 15, 1215, the king was forced to approve the Magna Carta at Runnymede meadow beside the River Thames.

A few months later, John fought the barons. They were aided by Prince Louis of France, heir to Philip Augustus, and appeared certain to win. But John penned his enemies in London and the adjacent counties. He died suddenly in 1216, but his throne was saved for his son, Henry III.

Notes:

Henry II "Curt Mantel," Duke of Normandy, Count of Maine and Anjou, King Of
England became king in 1154. At the height of his power, Henry ruled England
and almost all western France. His marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, the most
famous woman of the age, brought the duchy of Aquitaine under his control.
Henry also claimed to rule Scotland, Wales, and eastern Ireland.

Henry II carried on his grandfather's policy of limiting the power of the
nobles. He also tried to make the Roman Catholic Church in England submit to
his authority. This policy brought him into conflict with Thomas a Becket,
Archbishop of Canterbury. Four of the king's knights murdered Becket while he
was at vespers in his cathedral.

Henry made Anglo-Saxon common law, rather than the revised Roman law, the
supreme law of the land. He introduced trial by jury and circuit courts. In
his later years, Henry's sons often rebelled against him. Two of them, Richard
the Lion-Hearted and John, became the next two kings of England.
