About this product
Product Information
This book provides a new account of one of the most famous men of the English middle ages: Simon de Montfort. It traces his career from his origins as the younger son of a French noble family, through his elevation in England as the close friend and counsellor of King Henry III, to his break with the king, his rise to royal power, and his death in battle at Evesham in 1265. Montfort was a creature of contradictions. A superb soldier, an ardent religious idealist, and a forcefully able politician, he won the friendship and loyalty of some of the greatest men of his day; yet he was also ambitious and avaricious for political power. Through the chronicles, the public records and Montfort's family archives, this biography offers not only a narrative of his life but a more unusual study of character and temperament which can hardly be attempted for any other nobleman of the period.

'... offers a treatment of its subject which, for balance, narrative fluency and skill in marshalling interpretative detail, is likely to remain unsurpassed for a very long time ... His cast emerges individualised from under their hauberks and wimples, and we catch the authentic noise of their anxieties, their scruples, their oaths and challenges.' Jonathan Keates, The Observer, ‘… offers a treatment of its subject which, for balance, narrative fluency and skill in marshalling interpretative detail, is likely to remain unsurpassed for a very long time … His cast emerges individualised from under their hauberks and wimples, and we catch the authentic noise of their anxieties, their scruples, their oaths and challenges.’Jonathan Keates, The Observer, ‘… a biographer of rare perception and deep scholarship.’Michael Prestwich, The Times Literary Supplement‘… this magnificent biography will be as nearly definitive as any could be.

Michael Prestwich, The Times Literary Supplement '… this magnificent biography will be as nearly definitive as any could be.

Paul Johnson, The Times, ‘ … written in clear, compelling English … Maddicott has weighed Montfort in an admirably even balance. He has brought him alive in all his contradictions and magnificence. This is a masterpiece of a biography which will never be replaced.’D. A. Carpenter, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, "That Montfort was a major figure is hardly in dispute, and he has now been accorded a major modern study worthy of his importance." Michael Altschul, American Historical Review, ' … written in clear, compelling English … Maddicott has weighed Montfort in an admirably even balance. He has brought him alive in all his contradictions and magnificence. This is a masterpiece of a biography which will never be replaced.' D. A. Carpenter, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, "This is a compelling biography of an astonishing man. Simon de Montfort is one of those historical figures whose life defies belief, and J. R. Maddicott has done an excellent job of rendering it in all its diversity." The Historian, '¿ offers a treatment of its subject which, for balance, narrative fluency and skill in marshalling interpretative detail, is likely to remain unsurpassed for a very long time ¿ His cast emerges individualised from under their hauberks and wimples, and we catch the authentic noise of their anxieties, their scruples, their oaths and challenges.¿ Jonathan Keates, The Observer, '… offers a treatment of its subject which, for balance, narrative fluency and skill in marshalling interpretative detail, is likely to remain unsurpassed for a very long time … His cast emerges individualised from under their hauberks and wimples, and we catch the authentic noise of their anxieties, their scruples, their oaths and challenges.'

Carpenter, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, [Maddicott's] splendid new biography of Simon is deeply rooted in the sources, both chronicle and record, and makes use of a whole new generation of scholarship in assessing an extremely problematic figure." Times Literary Supplement, "It is a tribute to the quality of J.R. Maddicott's biography that neither its length and seriousness nor the unattractive personality of Simon de Montfort that looms over it detracts from it ability to hold the reader. Maddicott's interpretation can take its rightful place as our point of reference for its famous subject." Joel Rosenthal, Speculum--A Journal of Medieval Studies, '... a biographer of rare perception and deep scholarship.'Michael Prestwich, The Times Literary Supplement'... this magnificent biography will be as nearly definitive as any could be.

Paul Johnson, The Times, "...the general reader [will] be impressed by what the author and his predecessors have teased out of the 700-year-old records. Skilled warrior and politician, Montfort was simultaneously violent and introspective, greedy and idealistic. This biography presents him to us in all his vitality and paradox." Stephanie Martin, Wilson Library Bulletin
