He succeeded to the throne at age nine in 1216. He possessed a cultivated mind and was a wise patron of literature and art. His personal morality was of a high standard, but his extravagence and devious political methods left him the reputation of being a weak and ineffectual king.
5908 In the 24 years (1234-58) during which he had effective control of the government, he displayed such indifference to tradition that the barons finally forced him to agree to a series of major reforms, the Provisions of Oxford (1258).
