Abstract
1216. England distracted by civil war and invaded by a foreign prince, Louis of France, was left at the death of King John in the hands of a regent, who was ninety years old, and a boy, who had just turned nine. The boy was John’s son, Henry III, whose reign is one of the longest in English history. (1216-1272). The long reign of Henry III marks a further stage in the transition from an absolute to a limited monarchy. Henry, being a minor at his father’s death, governed England through a regent, William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, who was elected to this position by the Grand Council at Bristol.
