HENRY OF ALMAIN (1235-1271)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 297 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HENRY OF ALMAIN (1235-1271) , so called from his father's German connexions, was the son of Richard,
earl
  of
Cornwall
  and king of the Romans. Asa nephew of both
Henry
  III. and Simon de
Montfort
  he, wavered between the two at the beginning of the Barons' War, but finally took the royalist side and was among the prisoners taken by
Montfort
  at Lewes (1264). In 1268 he took the
cross
  with his
cousin
  Edward, who, however, sent him back from Sicily to pacify the unruly province of Gascony.
Henry
  took the land route with the kings of France and Sicily. While attending mass at Viterbo (13 March 1271) he was attacked by Guy and Simon de Montfort, sons of
Earl
  Simon, and foully murdered. This revenge was the more outrageous since Henry had personally exerted himself on behalf of the Montforts after Evesham. The deed is mentioned by Dante, who put Guy de Montfort in the seventh circle of
hell
 .
See W. H. Blaauw's The Barons' War (ed. 1871); Ch. Bemont's Simon de Montfort (1884).
