The history of England, from the accession of Henry III. to the death of Edward III. (1216-1377)

The work surveys English political developments from the minority of an early thirteenth-century monarch through the death of his fourteenth-century successor, recounting regencies, ministerial rule, and noble unrest. It documents military campaigns and foreign entanglements in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and France while outlining domestic administration, taxation, and relations with the papacy. Constitutional changes, including reissued charters and the growing role of councils and parliaments, are traced alongside episodes of reform and crisis. The narrative is supported by appendices summarizing principal authorities and sources used for research.
