It was during a rebellion that an English #parliament first included commoners. #SimonDeMontfort decided to call in not only lords and knights, but also burgesses from the major towns. His parliament opened #ThisDayInHistory in 1265, setting a precedent for the House of Commons.

New headcanon: "Simon Says" began in 1264 with kids watching Simon de Montfort boss King Henry III.

"Simon says: Call a Parliament."
"Simon says: Sign the Provisions."
"Charge the castle!"
Wait, Simon didn't say. You're out.

One of my historical heroes died today. Well, I say today. Today but 750 years ago. Still holding a grudge. RIP, #SimonDeMontfort.
