Notes:

Edmund Plantegenet by name Crouchback (b. Jan. 16, 1245, London, England - d. c.\June 5, 1296, Bayonne, France), fourth (but second surviving) son of King Henry III of England and Eleanor of Provence, who founded the house of Lancaster.
At the age 10, Edmund was invested by Pope Innocent IV with the kingdom of Sicily (April 1255) , as an expression of his conflict with the Holy Roman emperor, who held Sicily; but Edmund was never more than an absentee titular king, and Pope Alexander IV canceled the grant (December 1258).
In 1265 Edmund received the earldom of Leicester, and two years later was created Earl of Lancaster. He joined the crusade of his elder brother, the Lord Edward (1271-1272); and Edward on his accession as King Edward I, found in Edmund a loyal supporter. In 1275, two years after the death of his first wife, Edmund married Blanche of Artois, the widow of Henry III of Navarre and Champagne, and assumed the title Count Palatine of Champagne and Brie. When the court of King Philip IV of France pronounced that the king of England had forfeited Gascony, Edmund renounced his homage to Philip and withdrew with his wife to England. He was appointed lieutenant of Gascony in 1296but died in the same year, leaving his Son Thomas to succeed him in his English possession.
Edmund's nickname "Crouchback" (meaning "Crossback," or crusader) was misinterpreted, probably intentionally, by his direct descendant. King Henry IV, who, in claiming the throne (1399), asserted that Edmund had really been Henry III's eldest son but had been disinherited as a hunchback.

Notes:

Barons rebelled against his rule under Simond de Montfort.

He was the King of England from 1216 to 1272. In the 24 years (1234-58) during which he had effective control of the government, he displayed such indifference to tradition that the barons finally forced him to agree to a series of major reforms, the Provisions of Oxford (1258).

The elder son and heir of King John (ruled 1199-1216), Henry was nine years old when his father died. At that time London and much of eastern England were in the hands of rebel barons led by Prince Louis (later King Louis VIII of France), son of the French king Philip II Augustus. A council of regency presided over by the venerable William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, was formed to rule for Henry; by 1217 the rebels had been defeated and Louis forced to withdraw from England. After Pembroke's death in 1219 Hubert de Burgh ran the government until he was dismissed by Henry in 1232. Two ambitious Frenchmen, Peter des Roches and Peter des Rivaux, then dominated Henry's regime until the barons brought about their expulsion in1234. That event marked the beginning of Henry's personal rule.

Although Henry was charitable and cultured, he lacked the ability to rule effectively. In diplomatic and military affairs he proved to be arrogant yet cowardly, ambitious yet impractical. The breach between the King and his barons began as earlyas 1237, when the barons expressed outrage at the influence exercised over the government by Henry's Savoyard relatives. The marriage arranged (1238) by Henry between his sister, Eleanor, and his brilliant young French favourite, Simon deMontfort, Earl of Leicester, increased foreign influence and further aroused the nobility's hostility. In 1242 Henry's Lusignan half brothers involved him in a costly and disastrous military venture in France. The barons then began to demand avoice in selecting Henry's counsellors, but the King repeatedly rejected their proposal. Finally, in 1254 Henry made a serious blunder. He concluded an agreement with Pope Innocent IV (pope 1243-54), offering to finance papal wars in Sicily if thePope would grant his infant son, Edmund, the Sicilian crown. Four years later Pope Alexander IV (pope 1254-61) threatened to excommunicate Henry for failing to meet this financial obligation. Henry appealed to the barons for funds, but they agreedto cooperate only if he would accept far-reaching reforms. These measures, the Provisions of Oxford, provided for the creation of a 15-member privy council, selected (indirectly) by the barons, to advise the King and oversee the entireadministration. The barons, however, soon quarrelled among themselves, and Henry seized the opportunity to renounce the Provisions (1261). In April 1264 Montfort, who had emerged as Henry's major baronial opponent, raised a rebellion; thefollowing month he defeated and captured the King and his eldest son, Edward, at the Battle of Lewes (May 14, 1264), Sussex. Montfort ruled England in Henry's name until he was defeated and killed by Edward at the Battle of Evesham, Worcestershire, in August 1265. Henry, weak and senile, then allowed Edward to take charge of the government. After the King's death, Edward ascended the throne as King Edward I.

Henry married Countess Eleanor BERENGER, Of Provence on 14 Jan 1236-1237 in Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent Co., England. Eleanor (daughter of Count Raymond BERENGER, V and Countess Beatrice DE SAVOIE) was born in 1222 in Aix-En-Provence, Bouches Du Rhone, France; died on 24 Jun 1291 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England; was buried on 25 Jun 1291 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.

Encyclopedia Britannica Online at britannica.com:
Eleanor of Provence, born 1223 died June 25, 1291, Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.
French ?l?onore De Provence queen consort of King Henry III of England (ruled 1216-7 2); her widespread unpopularity intensified the severe conflicts between the King and his barons. Eleanor's father was Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Provence, and her
mother was the daughter of Thomas I, count of Savoy. The marriage of Eleanor and Henry (January 1236) was designed to further the King's con tinental ambitions. Eleanor soon alienated the barons by having her Savoyard and Proven?al uncles installed in high offices in England.

After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the government in May 1264, Eleanor became the l eader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised an invasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders.

Nevertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor then returned to England. Upon the death of Henry and the accession of her son Edward I, she retired to a nunnery at Amesbury.
