On This Day In History . 1 October 1207 . King Henry III was born . . Henry was born on 1 October 1207 in Winchester. . ◼ He was the son of king John & his second wife Isabella of Angoulême. Henry was nine when his father died & he became king. Though the country was ruled by a series of regencies until 1234, when Henry took over. Problems began as early as 1237, when his barons objected to the influence of Henry's Savoyard relatives. The marriage arranged in 1238 between Henry's sister & English nobleman Simon de Montfort only made relationship between Henry & his leading nobles worse. . ◼ In 1242, Henry's half brothers involved him in a disastrously expensive military venture in France. This prompted parliament to demand new blood on the council to act as 'conservators of liberties' & oversee royal finances. But the king was able to exploit the differences between his opponents & little happened. . 👑 Read more at www.thebritishmonarchy.co.uk . . . #Onthisdayinhistory #thisdayinhistory #D1Oct #TheYear1207 #HenryIII #HenryIIIofEngland #KingHenryIII #KingofEngland #History #historybuff #Historyfacts #HouseofPlantagenet #EnglishHistory #EnglishMonarchy #Britishmonarchy #Thebritishmonarchy (at Winchester, Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZ5qS6FwGC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zz5wd7qsjim0
