In 1258 a group of barons, led by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, forced King Henry III of England to accept a new form of government in which 15 members were to advise the King three times a year. The Provisions of Oxford were replaced next year in 1259 by the Provisions of Westminster.
These Provisions were overthrown by Henry, with papal sanction, in 1261, which seeded the start of the Barons' War (1263-67), which the King won.
