Righto.
This civil war was a classic medieval struggle between factions of nobles, not a precursor of democracy. LOL
Henry III was probably a pretty nice guy, but nice guys didn’t make good medieval kings.
The Mortimer you mention I believe was more associated with Henry III’s grandson Edward II, another ineffectual king. You’ll note nobody ever tried this kind of crap on with Henry III’s son Edward I or his great-grandson Edward III.
The King & Queen stuff still sucks to high heaven.
I thought we were finished with such nonsense after 1914. But some are still stupid enough to defend it here.
Headshake!
Will walk out my front door and smell the air of freedom. Yes, I live in rural America. In what is still Texas.
Henry III clearly wasn’t a good monarch at all, because there are none.
Roger Mortimer (First Baron)killed Simon Montfort @Evesham in Worcestershire
It was Roger Mortimer who killed Montfort by stabbing him in the neck with a lance.[11]
Later they mutilated him and spread body parts throughout the land....nice touch I must say
His grandson.....the first Marcher lord....Roger Mortimer1st Earl of March is of whom you speak
There were many Mortimer earls and lords and barons
This first notable one who helped Henry III got beacoup land and estates in kind most notably in the low area between Wales and England called The Marches
And so it goes....its who you know and who you impale and dismember for that counts
