Henry III being crowned, from Effigies ad Regem Angliae, c. 1280–1300, Cotton MS Vitellius A. XIII, folio 6r, London, British Library
English translation of the caption from Anglo-Norman: "After John, his son Henry III reigned for fifty-six years: he was nine years old when he was crowned. In his time was the battle of Evesham, where Sir Simon de Montfort was killed, and his son Henry, and Sir Hugh le Despenser, and many of the barons and knights of England. Then that King Henry died, and lies at Westminster."[2]
