Barons' War
n
(Historical Terms) either of two civil wars in 13th-century England. The First Barons' War (1215-17) was precipitated by King John's failure to observe the terms of Magna Carta: many of the Barons' grievances were removed by his death (1216) and peace was concluded in 1217. The Second Barons' War (1264-67) was caused by Henry III's refusal to accept limitations on his authority: the rebel Barons (led (1264-65) by Simon de Montfort), initially successful, were defeated at the battle of Evesham (1265); sporadic resistance continued until 1267
