The expulsion of the French, the restoration of order, and the securing of the validity of the Great Charter by successive and solemn confirmations, were the chief debt that England owed to William Marshall. So long as he lived he was able also to lessen the pressure of the hand of the Roman legate and to keep in order the foreign servants of John. Early in 1219 he died. Gualo, a few months before, having incurred considerable odium by his severe and avaricious conduct during an otherwise beneficial administration, resigned the legation and returned to Rome. The place of the regent was not easy to fill, and no successor was appointed with the same power and functions. Peter des Roches became guardian of the royal person; Pandulf, the envoy of 1213, became legate in Gualo’s place; and these two, with Hubert de Burgh as justiciar, formed a sort of triumvirate or supreme council of regency. Langton had now returned from exile; the Earls of Chester, Salisbury, and Ferrars had gone on Crusade, and matters seemed likely to run smoothly for some time. At Whitsuntide 1220 Henry was solemnly crowned at Westminster at the express command of the Pope, by the hands of Archbishop Langton, and with all the ceremonies which at the Gloucester coronation had been omitted. It was a very grand ceremony; all the due services of the great feudatories were regularly performed, and it was made a sort of typical exhibition of the national restoration. It had also a political intention. If Henry was now in full possession of his royal dignity, it was high time for him to take back into the royal custody the castles which through policy or necessity had been hitherto left in dangerous hands. The feudal lords must learn to submit to Henry III. as they had done to Henry II.; the foreign adventurers must be removed from the posts which although they had earned them by fidelity, they had made the strongholds of tyranny and oppression. England must be reclaimed for the English, and not even the legatine, not even the papal, influence must be allowed to retard the national progress towards internal unity and prosperity.
