""The Misrule of Henry III"" is a historical book written by William Holden Hutton, originally published in 1887. The book explores the reign of King Henry III of England, who ruled from 1216 to 1272, and focuses on the political and social turmoil that characterized his reign. Hutton argues that Henry III was a weak and ineffective ruler who was easily influenced by his advisors and courtiers. He describes how Henry's mismanagement of the economy and his reliance on unpopular foreign advisors led to widespread discontent among the English people. The book also examines the role of the barons and the Church in Henry's reign, as well as the conflict between the king and his barons that culminated in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. Hutton provides detailed accounts of the major events of Henry's reign, including the Second Barons' War and the Battle of Lewes. Overall, ""The Misrule of Henry III"" offers a critical analysis of one of the most turbulent periods in English history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval history, political science, or the evolution of English constitutional law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
