Suffice it to say, we had plenty of down time on our vacation. As luck would have it, that was the year the players went on strike and the exhibition games were canceled. So back when I was in law school, I went to Spring Training in Arizona with a classmate and a college buddy and his wife. I'm such a fan that I buy every used copy of her historical epics that I see and then give them to friends. Simon de Montfort took them to their most extreme. The barons that had written them had differing ideas of how far they should be taken. In October 1258 the King accepted the Provisions of Oxford, but he had no intention of living by them.
Simon de Montfort was eventually killed by Henrys son, Prince Edward, at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. Thus it is ultimately from Simon de Montfort that we have developed the idea of a representative Parliament. The innovation of summoning the commons to attend Parliaments was repeated in later years and soon became standard. This was the first time the "commons" had been represented at a Parliament. De Montfort sought to widen his support by summoning a Parliament to which he invited Knights of the shires and Burgesses as well as the Barons. Simon de Montfort, who was actually the King's brother-in-law, led the dispute. The Barons were angry at the cost of some of the King's schemes, such as the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey and a proposed campaign to make one of his younger sons King of Sicily. Simon de Montfort, the Earl of Leicester, led a dispute by the Barons against King Henry III in the 13th Century.
