Notes - Henry was crowned when he was just nine in 1216, but he did not actually rule until he came of age in 1227. He brought many foreign nobles to his court which infuriated his barons. They forced him to give them rule. Henry later tried fg back but was captured in the Battle of Lewes in 1264. His son Edward won back the rule by killing England's temporary leader, Simon de Montfort. Edward then ruled during the rest of his father's lifetime. There is some discrepancy in Henry's birth. It is listed as 1206 on page 585 of Harry's book and 1207 on p. 567. (C-437, p. 585) I am concurring with 1207 as it is listed that way in World Book Encyclopedia. He was murdered the same year, but several months after his brother Richard I.
His will is as follows: "I, Henry, by the grace of God King of England and Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy, Acquitaine, and Earl of Anjou, on the Tuesday next after the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, in the year of grace 1253, at Suthwyk, proposing to go into Gascony, make my will in form following. I will that my body be buried at the Church of the Blessed Edward at Westminster, there being no impediment, having formerly appointed my body to be buried in the New Temple of London. I commit the guardianship of Edward my eldest son and heir, and of my other children, and of my Kingdom of England, and of all my other lands of Wales and Ireland, and Gascony, to my illustrious Queen Eleanor, until they arrive at full age. Also, I bequeath the cross which the Countess of Kent gave me, to the small altar of the aforesaid Church of Edward of Westminster, and I appoint my aforesaid Queen; Boniface Archbishop of Canterbury; Aymer, elect of Winchester; and Richard Earl of Cornwall, my brothers; Petri de Lebaudia, John Maunsell, "Praepositi Beverlye," Peter Chiceporm, Archdeacon of Wales, John Prior of Newburgh, my Chaplains; John de Gray, my Steward; and Henry de Wengham, my Secretary, my executors."
