| Publisher Description: This volume contains a biographical account of Simon De Montford, written by the Benedictine monk William Rishanger. Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester (1208 - 1265), was a French nobleman. He spearheaded the uprising against King Henry III of England during the Second Barons' War of 1263 64. This conflict resulted in him becoming the de facto ruler of England. This book is highly recommended for those with an interest in Simon De Montford, and will also appeal to collectors of antiquarian literature of this ilk. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author." |
