Henry III with David Carpenter
Although he’s one of the longest-reigning monarchs in English history, he tends to be largely forgotten when it comes to top ten lists. He’s not even in the top three most popular Henrys. Sandwiched between his father, Bad King John, and his son, the “great and terrible” Edward I, Henry III was a pious, peaceful, family man – for better and for worse. This week on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with David Carpenter about what people loved and loathed about Henry, how he managed to survive the rockiest moments of his reign, and the incredible architectural legacy he left behind. David Carpenter is Professor of Medieval History at King’s College London. He has two books – Henry III: The Rise to Power and Personal Rule, 1207-1258 and Henry III: Reform, Rebellion, Civil War, Settlement, 1258-1272. both published with Yale University Press. The creator and host of The Medieval Podcast is Danièle Cybulskie.
