The Importance of Henry the Third

In 1216, Henry the third became king and he ruled for a very long time as you might imagine coming to the throne at age nine. He got into trouble with the barons a few times and was even captured by barons who were in rebellion against him. So that's King John for you. But Henry the third is also important in the context of the current coronation becauseHenry the third was really into Edward the confessor who was buried in Westminster Abbey.
