The Minority of Henry the Third
Kate Norgate, the English historian of the Angevin kings, published The Minority of Henry the Third in 1912, studying the years when England was governed in the name of a boy king. Henry was nine when his father King John died in 1216, with the French prince Louis holding much of the country. Norgate follows the war against Louis and the victory at Lincoln, the regency of William the Marshal, the role of the papal legate Pandulf, the rise of Hubert de Burgh and the struggles with the overmighty Falkes de Bréauté, up to the siege of Bedford Castle. Detailed notes discuss disputed points. Precise and grounded in the records, it is a careful study of how a weak monarchy survived.
