Best Answer

The monarchy is hereditary - therefore when Henry's father (John, King of England) died in 1216, Henry became King.

King Henry III had two Regents - William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1216-1219) and Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent (1219-1227) who ruled in his place until he came of age.
