Présentation de l'éditeur :

CHAPTER I. THE REGENCY OF WILLIAM MARSHAL. WHEN John died, on October 19, 1216, the issue of the war between him and the barons was still doubtful. The arrival of Louis of France, eldest son of King Philip Augustus, had enabled the barons to win back much of the ground lost after John's early triumphs had forced them to call in the foreigner. Beyond the Humber the sturdy north-country barons, who had wrested the Great Charter from John, remained true to their principles, and had also the support of Alexander I I., King of Scots. The magnates of the eastern counties were as staunch as the northerners, and the rich and populous southern shires were for the most part in agreement with them. In the west, the barons had the aid of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth, the great Prince of North Wales. iThile ten earls fought for Louis, the royal cause was only upheld by six. The towns were mainly with the rebels, notably London and the ·Cinque Ports, and cities so distant as Winchester
