# Page Description This is a page of running prose from *Albions England*, Chapter XXVI (page 123). The text is verse narrative in Early Modern English concerning English royal history. It discusses King Henry III's reign, papal interference in English affairs, civil conflict between the king and barons, the king's captivity, and ultimately his peaceful resolution and death—after which Edward inherited the throne. The page contains ornamental chapter heading and decorative initial letter, typical of period book printing.
