▪ English history
      (1264–67), in English history, the civil war caused by baronial opposition to the costly and inept policies of Henry III. The barons in 1258 had attempted to achieve reform by forcing Henry to abide by the Provisions of Oxford (see Oxford, Provisions of). When, by the Mise of Amiens (1264), the Provisions of Oxford were declared invalid by Louis IX of France, some barons, led by Simon de Montfort (Montfort, Simon de, Earl Of Leicester), took up arms and, in May 1264, captured the king at the Battle of Lewes in the southeastern Downs. From then until his death at the Battle of Evesham in August 1265, Simon de Montfort largely controlled England and made important administrative and parliamentary experiments. A settlement was achieved by the Dictum of Kenilworth (1266) and finally by the Statute of Marlborough (1267), which remedied some of the baronial grievances.
