Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!

On the 16th November 1272 Henry III died after a 56 year reign.

His rule spanned the better part of the 13th century, and took England

from the disaster that was King John to the conquering macho that was Edward I. 

Neatly sandwiched in between these two vastly different kingships is Henry III,

the man who gave us Westminster Abbey , peace with France and Scotland;

and Parliament, as a regular place of meetings for government officials.

Henry may not have the best posthumous PR, but we’re here to fix that.

Please welcome to the podcast Matthew Lewis, historian, author and podcaster.
