ruled from 1216 thru 1272. 1st King to be buried at Westminster Abbey. "Lackland." Henry was the brother of Joan Plantagenet. See her record for further tracing.

Henry III, the first monarch to be crowned in his minority, inherited the t hrone at age nine. His reign began immersed in the rebellion created by his fat her, King John. London and most of the southeast were in the hands of the Frenc h Dauphin Louis and the northern regions were under the control of rebellious b arons - only the midlands and southwest were loyal to the boy king. The barons, however, rallied under Henry's first regent, William the Marshall, and expelle d the French Dauphin in 1217. William the Marshall governed until his death in 1219; Hugh de Burgh, the last of the justiciars to rule with the power of a kin g, governed until Henry came to the throne in earnest at age twenty-five.

A variety of factors coalesced in Henry's reign to plant the first seeds of Engl ish nationalism. Throughout his minority, the barons held firm to the ideal of written restrictions on royal authority and reissued Magna Carta several times. The nobility wished to bind the king to same feudal laws under which they were held. The emerging class of free men also demanded the same protection from th e king's excessive control. Barons, nobility, and free men began viewing Englan d as a community rather than a mere aggregation of independent manors, villages , and outlying principalities. In addition to the restrictions outlined in Magn a Carta, the barons asked to be consulted in matters of state and called togeth er as a Great Council. Viewing themselves as the natural counselors of the king , they sought control over the machinery of government, particularly in the app ointment of chief government positions. The Exchequer and the Chancery were sep arated from the rest of the government to decrease the king's chances of ruling irresponsibly.

Nationalism, such as it was at this early stage, manifested in the form of opposition to Henry's actions. He infuriated the barons by gran ting favors and appointments to foreigners rather than the English nobility. Pe ter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester and Henry's prime educator, introduced a number of Frenchmen from Poitou into the government; many Italians entered i nto English society through Henry's close ties to the papacy. His reign coincid ed with an expansion of papal power Ð the Church became, in effect, a massive E uropean monarchy Ð and the Church became as creative as it was excessive in ext orting money from England. England was expected to assume a large portion of fi nancing the myriad officials employed throughout Christendom as well as providi ng employment and parishes for Italians living abroad. Henry's acquiescence to the demands of Rome initiated a backlash of protest from his subjects: laymen w ere denied opportunity to be nominated for vacant ecclesiastical offices and cl ergymen lost any chance of advancement.

Matters came to a head in 1258. Henr y levied extortionate taxes to pay for debts incurred through war with Wales, f ailed campaigns in France, and an extensive program of ecclesiastical building. Inept diplomacy and military defeat led Henry to sell his hereditary claims to all the Angevin possessions in France except Gascony. When he assumed the cons iderable debts of the papacy in its fruitless war with Sicily, his barons deman ded sweeping reforms and the king was in no position to offer resistance. Henry was forced to agree to the Provisions of Oxford, a document placing the barons in virtual control of the realm. A council of fifteen men, comprised of both t he king's supporters and detractors, effected a situation whereby Henry could n othing without the council's knowledge and consent. The magnates handled every level of government with great unity initially but gradually succumbed to petty bickering; the Provisions of Oxford remained in force for only years. Henry re asserted his authority and denied the Provisions, resulting in the outbreak of civil war in 1264. Edward, Henry's eldest son, led

Eleanor's father was Raymond Berengar IV, count of Provence, and her mother was the daug hter of Thomas I, count of Savoy. The marriage of Eleanor and Henry (January 12 36) was designed to further the King's continental ambitions. Eleanor soon alie nated the barons by having her Savoyard and Proven‡al uncles installed in high offices in England.

After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the gover nment in May 1264, Eleanor became the leader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised an invasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders. Nev ertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor then returned to England. Upon the death of Henry and the accession of her son Edward I, she re tired to a nunnery at Amesbury.

Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of Leon and Berenguela, daugh ter of Alfonso VIII of Castile. When born, he was the heir to Leon, but his un cle, Henry I of Castile, died young, and his mother inherited the crown of Cast ile, which she conferred on him.
