This volume focuses on the turbulent reign of King Henry III, beginning with his ascension to the throne at the tender age of nine following the death of his father, King John. The text delves into the complexities of early medieval politics in England, particularly highlighting the conflict between Henry and the French forces led by Prince Louis. At the start of the narrative, the author recounts the immediate aftermath of King John's death, focusing on William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, who takes the young Henry into protective custody. The opening sets the stage for a power struggle as various lords convene to support Henry against his father’s opponents, including Louis, the French king's son. The efforts to crown and rally support for the boy king underscore the dramatic political landscape of the time, filled with turbulent alliances and betrayals, as both sides vie for control over England.
