medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today's ODNB Life of the Day is HW 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 much of interest here including his devotion to Edward the
Confessor and other English saints, the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey,
frequent visits to East Anglian shrines, the ceremonial surrounding the
receipt of the relic of Christ's blood, relations with the pope, papal
legates and Louis IX, attitude to the Crusades, taxation of the clergy, etc.
