Listen "Medieval Civil War: Henry III & Simon de Montfort with David Pilling"
Episode Synopsis
On the 4th August 1265 Henry III’s army led by his
son Edward, met rebels of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester at Evesham. Henry himself had earlier been captured by Simon, and so perhaps that motivated Edward and his followers to exact a terrible revenge. In a brutal battle with the majority of the Montfortians wiped out, Edward was victorious and so Simon de Montfort’s rebellion was over. Or was it? His relatives continued their campaign against Henry meaning this particular civil war was a long running one, and was that necessary?
Joining today is David Pilling, author of Rebellion Against Henry
III as he joins to discuss Henry, his son Edward, Simon de Montfort and this
particularly brutal English civil war.
