 In this episode of Crown and Chaos, we dive into the turbulent reign of Henry III, a king obsessed with piety and the memory of Edward the Confessor, yet plagued by weak rule and constant baronial unrest. Standing against him is Simon de Montfort, a brilliant and ambitious noble who would lead England into civil war and summon the first parliament to include commoners. It’s a story of faith, betrayal, and the birth of representative government, how a saintly dreamer and a rebel earl reshaped England’s destiny.
