The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part B. From Henry III. to Richard III.

"The History of England in Three Volumes, Vol. I., Part B" by David Hume is a historical exploration of England, covering the time from Henry III to Richard III. Hume's narrative aims to present a clear yet detailed look at key moments and important people in English history. It tells a story about the change from Henry III's rule to Richard III's, showing how important events changed England’s monarchy and its relationships with powerful nobles and the church; the story begins with Henry III, a king whose weaknesses and unpredictable actions caused problems with the barons; initially, the Earl of Pembroke protected Henry during his early years, but ongoing conflicts threatened his control; the story explores how the barons grew unhappy and started revolts, showing how fragile Henry's power was due to outside forces, like the Pope, and fights within the country.
