Editing Dictum of Kenilworth (section)

==Aftermath==
Hostilities did not end with the publication of the Dictum.<ref>Powicke (1947), p. 538.</ref> The garrison at Kenilworth refused to accept the terms given, and held out until 14 December, when deprivation forced them to surrender.<ref>Powicke (1947), p. 539.</ref> In April 1267, the earl of Gloucester{{spaced ndash}}who had been central both to the royal victory at Evesham and to the drafting of the Dictum{{spaced ndash}}turned against the king. He occupied the city of [[London]], and set himself up as the champion of the disinherited.<ref>Prestwich (1988), pp. 58&ndash;9.</ref> After negotiations involving both Edward and Ottobuono, Gloucester relented, and by June a settlement was reached.<ref>Prestwich (1988), p. 9.</ref> Gloucester had forced a change to the conditions of the Dictum, whereby the disinherited were allowed to recover their lands before they had paid their fines rather than after; an arrangement that made repayment much easier.<ref name="P121">Prestwich (2005), p. 121.</ref> In the summer of that year, Prince Edward moved at the [[Isle of Ely]], where the last of the rebels still held out, and forced them into submission under terms favourable to the rebels.<ref>Prestwich (1988), p. 59.</ref>

In November 1267, parliament met at [[Marlborough, Wiltshire|Marlborough]] in Wiltshire.<ref>Ridgeway (2004). Some authorities refer to the meeting as a great council rather than a parliament; Powicke (1953), p. 209.</ref> Here an important provision was issued that would become known to history as the [[Statute of Marlborough]].<ref>Powicke (1947), p. 543.</ref> This statute incorporated the clauses of the Dictum of Kenilworth that dealt with the restoration of royal power, and reconciliation between the loyalists and the rebels.<ref name="P121"/><ref>Powicke (1947), p. 547.</ref> The Statute of Marlborough became a basis for royal government, and the relationship between the king and his subjects, and as such the Dictum lived on in English constitutional history.<ref>Powicke (1947), pp. 547&ndash;9.</ref>

The spirit of peace and reconciliation established by the Dictum of Kenilworth lasted for the remainder of Henry III's reign and into the 1290s.<ref name="P121"/> In 1270, Prince Edward left the country to go on [[Ninth Crusade|crusade]] in the [[Holy Land]].<ref>Prestwich (1988), p. 73.</ref> When his father died in 1272, Edward felt in a safe enough position to wait until 1274 before returning home to claim the throne.<ref>Prestwich (2005), pp. 122&ndash;3.</ref>
