'''Henry III''' ruled [[England]] from 1216-1272.  [[becoming king|Ascending]] the [[throne]] as a boy, his first [[regent]] was the famous [[William Marshall]], who saw King and realm through the invasion, by France, which had begun in the latter days of [[John Lackland|King John]].  It was not until the [[Treaty of Lambeth]] in 1217 that Henry was undisputed [[king]].  While he ultimately was on the throne for 56 years, his [[reign]] was marked by failed military campaigns, political strife, and financial mismanagement. He was temporarily dethroned by [[Simon de Montfort]] but later regained power with the help of his son, [[Edward I]], "Longshanks".
