Family Notes

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

Henry III ran afoul of his barons (again) when he requested a
large amount of money to aid him in putting down Gaston de
Béarn's 2nd rebellion in Gascony, saying that de Béarn's ally
St. Ferdinand III King of Castile was going to invade Gascony,
but just as he said this, Simon de Montfort returned to England
& told the barons that Henry was actually negotiating with the
St. Ferdinand III to marry his daughter Eleanor to Henry's son
Crown Prince Edward "Longshanks" (de Montfort's commetns were
true).
There is no doubt the marriage was a happy & successful one.
