On the death of King John (remember him? He was the king who was forced to sign the Magna Carta), the barons of the court had invited Louis, son of king Philip of France, to be their king, But, the English Barons, knowing that Louis and Philip had been King John’s worst enemy, decided rather to proclaim Henry, John’s eldest son, aged just 9 years, as king. Hubert de Burgh, a very loyal and sincere man, undertook to govern for him until he reached maturity. However, this led to a battle with Louis, but he was defeated at Lincoln and de Burgh also managed to sink so many of the French ships that Louis was driven back to France. However, when Henry did become king, he certainly was not interested in ruling by the Magna Carta and broke rules in all directions, raising money by illegal taxes. This eventually led to the barons, accompanied by their fighting men in full armour, to force Henry to submit. But, Henry's refusal to accept the provisions set out by the barons, led to the second Barons' War in 1264, a revolt of nobles led by his brother-in-law Simon de Montfort. Henry was defeated at Lewes, Sussex, and imprisoned, but restored to the throne after the royalist victory at Evesham in 1265. He was succeeded by his son Edward I.
