Book Description
King Henry's misrule ("a schadenfreude bonfire of the vanities") has become so extreme that the lords of England rebel, creating the Provisions of Oxford, the Constitution for an elected Parliament with power over the Crown. But when the lords abandom their work it is really Simon who seizes the King's castles, takes control of England and makes government by Parliament a reality -- creating modern democracy.
