Henry III

In the winter of 1215 Louis returned to France for reinforcements and lost much of his English support while he was away. He returned only to be defeated at the battle of Lincoln.

WILLIAM THE MARSHAL (c. 1147-1219)

• A courtier in the service of Henry the Young King
• Entered Henry II's household in 1186
• Served Richard I well and through his marriage was rewarded with the estates of Richard de Clare in Ireland, Wales and Normandy
• Managed to retain his estates in spite of the loss of Normandy in 1204
• Became regent to Henry III in 1216
• Defeated the French dauphin Louis VIII at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217

William the Marshal was nearly 80 years old when he became guardian to Henry III.

William wanted the Earl of Chester to become regent but the Papal legate begged William to take the office in return for the remission and pardon of his sins.

Henry III was crowned at Gloucester. Henry at the time of John's death was with his family at Corfe Castle and from there was taken to Gloucester, being the nearest Abbey.
