🎧 Henry III vs. Simon de Montfort
Archive of Dan Snow's History Hit 🎧 • 43m
After speaking to Gone Medieval in April 2022 about the first volume of his magisterial biography of Henry III, David Carpenter promised Matt Lewis that he would pay the podcast a return visit when the second volume came out. Henry III 1258-1272: Reform, Rebellion, Civil War, Settlement picks up the story when Henry is 51 years old. He's been monarch for 42 years and might have been looking forward to a quieter twilight to his reign. But he was in for the rudest of awakenings.Â
This episode was edited by Joseph Knight and produced by Rob Weinberg.
