This video misrepresents his rule. He did very little that would justify a constitutional reform such as the Provisions of Oxford (the Sicilian business and the money put forth for the Crusades never bankrupted the country, not sure how he concluded that). The magnates wanted more power and by that time Henry III could barely move without their consent. That lack of movement for a king began after the Magna Carta and would continue.

​@@HeyImLucious To be fair Sicily is so far from England it would be extremely hard to control. It was nothing but dream ambition. His father wasnt able to hold France which is close to England so I have no idea what make Henry think he will be able to hold Sicily. I think that it would be logistical nightmare for English Monarch being able to use his authority here yet alone do something militarily good if rebellion broke out there.

It feels like the cavalry getting too hot headed and leaving the rest of the army to fight while they ride down routing troops is the biggest reason a lot of these battles are lost. Imagine if Edward came back while they were engaged and hit them in the back or side.

Your schooling must have really sucked then, at least history-wise. I have also learned a lot here about individual battles, campaigns and commanders that I would otherwise know little or nothing about. But to compare that to the entire history part of my schooling, spanning basically every major aspect from stone age to cold war? Heh, sorry, but these videos, as excellent as they are in their own niche, don't even begin to scratch the surface. For one, they are essentially only about wars and the military, which is but one thin slice of human history.

I cannot say how much I love these videos. Didn’t know of this battle, didn’t know of the fascinating backstory. It’s almost cliched with the young Calvary officer calling for the charge early in the battle. While outnumbered holding the high ground and choosing the time and place to battle is as old as time itself. Too bad Henry or his advisers had never read Sun Tzu. You could make a video a week and I would still want more, I need to learn how to use patreon and help fund these KZbin channels that provide such wonderful content be able to keep producing great material.

Simon de Montfort's father, also named as such, was a military general during the crusades against the Albigeois, a different kind of christians ruling the Southwestern part of France (around Toulouse). He managed to beat them and burn them at the stake. He then became earl of Leicester when his uncle died, but the title was given to a more "english" noble by King John. His son then took it back.

While Edward certainly didn't help by charging so quickly, Henry definitely didn't need to follow suite and run his footmen uphill into the enemy. After Edward's charge Henry had a large advantage, and since time was on his side -- there was only so much time until Edward returned from the charge and since Henry would have only bolstered his forces as time went on such a huge hit to the numbers of Simon's retinue would have been crippling for the rest of the war which would force Simon to either attack downhill and into a much larger force or retreat which would put him at a major disadvantage throughout the rest of the war. Henry's war should have been won with Edward's charge, and though with Henry's subsequent attack it was a poor decision if Henry had held off on the advance and forced the enemy to move off of the hillside to fight on equal ground or retreat in fear of Edward's return the war should have been all but over. I do agree that Edward should have, after breaking the flank, regrouped with his father much quicker -- but his father's actions in the battle were much more damning to his efforts than his son's charge.

So, one battle and the a descendant of the infamous counts de Montfort and what does he do as a result of one battle? He captured the king of England. He defeated an army of 10 thousand (having only 5). He captured Prince Edward (it is strange that he surrendered without a fight, but oh well). He also grabbed uncle, who, for a moment, was ALMOST the Holy Roman Emperor (but he turned out to be so lazy and stupid that he decided not to go into the jungle of German politics at all, which is why the German princes and Przemysl Ottokar (hello to the videos about Kressenbrunn and Marchfield ) restore their order in the state, seizing the crown lands and other property). In short, Simon de Montfort is cool. Really cool!

Just form up and retreat using your cavalry to screen the action. But I don’t know how that plays politically. Better to fight another time of your choosing and place.

At around the 3:08 mark you show a picture of the Coronation Chair in reference to mid-century events. However that chair wasn't made until the end of the century. I know it is nitpicky, but I bring it up because the only reason I know this is that another of your videos about Edward inspired me to read more about him. This is one of my favorite KZbin channels, please keep up the great work.

Used to live and work there and in that same area battle was fought , would have been some uphill slog , and longshanks really screwed up , Simon must have marched along the downs to take that position , and it's a surprise there was none of Edwards men on high ground as you can see for miles from up there , They used to have the 5th November bonfire there where effigies of pope were burned ( just a side note . The area also used to be a horse racing track , if your map is correct

So one thing i'd like to add; Edward fervently chased down De Montfort's infantry because the infantry he charged were londoners, he saw their siding with Simon as a personal betrayal but even more importantly, a bit before this battle his mother was leaving london when a mob of these same londoners accosted her party and hurled things at her. Edward chased them to send a message that nothing like that could ever happen, either as revenge for his mother or thinking on the safety of his wife the future queen. Edward's charging after them was less battle frenzy more revenge fueled rage. Though it can be argued that whatever the reason, the action did lose the battle, he knew how militarily incompetent his father and uncle were, and had he not left the battle to harry the london infantry he would have been able to support his father and likely could have beaten Simon there. Which he did do later on in their second battle, where he had Simon brutally murdered in the midst of the fighting by a hit squad of knights who were tasked specifically with finding the rebel and killing him

A bit brief. Missed out the good bits. Like Cornwall being captured at the Windmill. And the defense of the city itself. As well as the king holling himself up in the priory while negotiating a treaty. Then refusing to surrender to Simon, instead to De Clare. I'm currently gearing up for this battle. Cant wait to get stuck in.

i am from Lewes, the battlefield was on the hills at the top of Lewes. As far as my memory recalls, the northern army under Simon de Montfort captured the prince in the mill and the king was forced to surrender. I made this comment before watching this vid, let's see if i'm right.

Honestly had Edward pulled his cavalry back and struck Simon in the rear while Henry was attacking they likely could have won, or not who knows Henry was an idiot Edward was the actual military force there which is the reason the battle was lost once he chased after the london infantry; who he was harrying so fiercely to teach them a lesson about pelting the queen with stuff while she left london a bit before this battle happened
