The Minority of Henry the Third

This historical work presents a fresh perspective on the history of Henry the Third. It details interestingly how Henry's rule went unpopular after a certain period, resulting from the failure of his foreign policies and the activities of his infamous Poitevin half-brothers, the Lusignans, and the role of his provincial officers in collecting taxes and debts.

British Historian Kate Norgate did a fabulous job showing a side of history that went unnoticed for so long. Norgate was one of the first women to achieve academic success in being a historian. She is best known for her famous history of England under the Angevin kings.
