He [king Henry III] always focused on regulating his finances, increasing his revenues, and providing justice to his kingdoms, and when any man pays lots of attention to some goal, he will necessarily reach it. This is even more the case for the king when he enjoys the services of good ministers and officials. This king met to review his actions with some notable men, monks and nobles, prelates and jurists, and with their counsel he organized his kingdoms and judicial administration. No one can deny that he exhibited fine judgment in evaluating and selecting good people for the Royal Council, which is no small virtue in a prince, and kept the kingdom peaceful and well governed; and in a short time, he had a great treasure, because he wasn't a free spender, and when the king is parsimonious, keeps track of expenditures, and receives great revenues, he will necessarily be rich. This king, don Enrique, was greatly feared by the grandees of his kingdom and much loved and respected by the common people because he always maintained peace and harmony and each person was secure proprietor of what he had.
