	Description:		With accusations of favouritism, poor spending and unrealistic international plans, resentment against Henry III simmered among his barons throughout the 1250s. This frustration came to a head in a coup at the Oxford Parliament of 1258 – where some rebel barons saw the opportunity not just to get what they wanted from their king, but to completely transform medieval society. Speaking to Emily Briffett, Luke Foddy explores what this reform movement meant for the average person living in England during those turbulent years.
