Henry managed to get the crown back from de Montfort when his son Edward took down the rebel, defeating him at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. De Montfort’s head, complete with his own testicles draped as decoration across his nose, was eventually sent to his grieving widow, Henry’s own sister Maud. It was sent the long way round, via different cities of course, for maximum exposure.
