Quotes by David Arscott Carpenter (?)

“Matthew Paris’s amazement at the way the fruits of England were being devoured by foreigners probably reflects very well the views of barons, knights, prelates and lower clergy in parliament.”
― David Arscott Carpenter, Henry III: The Rise to Power and Personal Rule, 1207-1258
