Conciliatory and deeply religious, he created a magnificent court, rebuilt Westminster Abbey, and invested in soft power. Then, in 1258, the king faced a great revolution. Led by Simon de Montfort, the uprising stripped him of his authority and brought decades of personal rule to a catastrophic end. In the brutal civil war that followed, the political community was torn apart in a way unseen again until Cromwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Renowned historian David Carpenter brings to life the dramatic events in the last phase of Henry III’s momentous reign. Carpenter provides a fresh account of the king’s strenuous efforts to recover power and sheds new light on the characters of the rebel de Montfort, Queen Eleanor, and Lord Edward—the future Edward I. A groundbreaking biography, Henry III illuminates as never before the political twists and turns of the day, showing how politics and religion were intimately connected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44148598898925,"sku":"9780300248050","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780300248050_dd19295e-d7f7-4189-806c-918f8241426b.jpg?v=1732557564","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780300248050","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
