medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today's ODNB Life of the Day is H.W. Ridgeway's biography of Henry III
(1207-1272), king of England and lord of Ireland, and duke of Aquitaine,
called Henry of Winchester from his birthplace.
There is a great deal of interest for readers of this list: Henry's
relationship with St Louis and his place as a potential English equivalent,
his real piety, pilgrimages in England (most notably in East Anglia) and
France, patronage of firars and poor scholars, rebuilding of Westminster
Abbey and placing there the relic of the holy blood, etc, etc.
