In effect, the crown had been replaced by a new council of nobles and clergy. That council now virtually ruled England. Foreign courtiers were made to disappear. It has been ordained that there are to be three parliaments a year to view the state of the kingdom. It is provided that from each county, there' re chosen four lawworthy knights to hear all complaints for the common benefit of the whole kingdom. And when the assembled community of the realm, including the King and Prince Edward, swore an oath to uphold the provisions, they could have been in no doubt about the significance of the moment, for the fate of the nation. And so Henry III' s facade of omnipotent rule had come crashing down around his ears. But he was not the only royal with a stake in events. |
