On the 16th November 1272 Henry III of England breathed his last.
The grandson of Eleanor of Aquitaine, son of King John and father of Edward I, he often gets overshadowed by his retrospectively more illustrious relatives and nemeses. Let’s look at the king who preferred peace to war, giving money instead of taking it, and who had one of the longest reigns in the history of the British isles.
Let’s welcome back Darren Baker who has written a book on this topic titled Henry III: The Great King England Never Knew It Had, published with The History Press.
