Henry III of England

Henry III (1207–1272), son of King John, became king in 1216 during the First Barons' War; William Marshal's victory at Lincoln in 1217 secured his crown. He rebuilt Westminster Abbey honouring Edward the Confessor.

Defeat at Taillebourg in 1242 ended his French reconquests. In 1258 Simon de Montfort's barons imposed the Provisions of Oxford; Henry was captured at Lewes in 1264, but Edward freed him after victory at Evesham in 1265. He died in 1272.
