   Note: The claim that the above couple had dau. Mary cannot be accepted (see  Eng.120)

   Possibly this has been misconstrued with Mary, possible dau. of Edmund,  "Crouchback", and therefore grandaughter of Henry III. On the supposition  that Mary was the dau. of Henry III, She was erroneously sealed to the above  couple on 18 May 1933. Ordinance work for a supposed son Robert was also  erroneously done, and he was sealed to this couple 14 May 1938. However,  there is no positive evidence that Henry III had a son Robert.

Came to throne 1216 at the age of 9, didn't rule until 1227. Ruled until 1272.

He was a tyrant and the nobles revolted against his rule.

Simon de Montfort ( leader of the nobles) summoned Parliament in 1265, effectively disposing him as King.

During the rest of his life his son Edward ruled.

Famous Law-giver. Spent most of his life conquering the Scotch, his policy delayed the union of the two kingdoms for 300 years. Did little to improve the relations with France; at home he improved Parliament by restricting power of the Crown, taxes levied only by Parliament.
