In 1261, Henry III renounced the Provisions of Oxford (1258) and the Provisions of Westminster (1259), which had vested considerable power in a council of barons, and reasserted his right to appoint councilors. The barons led by Simon de Montfort , earl of Leicester, finally resorted to arms in 1263 and forced the king to reaffirm his adherence to the Provisions.
