Simon de Montfort, a French nobleman, arrived in England to claim his inheritance and quickly rose in social ranks by marrying King Henry III's sister. Initially allies, De Montfort and the king fell out over debts. De Montfort led the barons in drafting the Provisions of Oxford to limit royal power. After returning from France, he led a rebellion, defeating the king at the Battle of Lewes and establishing a new government.
