!Hanged and quartered. Lord Despenser. [Magna Charta Sureties]

=========================
Hugh Despenser 'the Elder' was born on 1 March 1261, the son of Hugh Despenser the Even Elder, Justiciar of England, who was killed at the side of Simon de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, when his son was four years old. In 1271, Hugh's mother Aline Basset married Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. She had no more children, though Hugh had three sisters, or possibly a sister and two half-sisters by his father's (unknown) first wife.Aline, only child and heiress of Philip Basset, died before 11 April 1281, and although he wasn't yet twenty-one, Hugh received livery of his Despenser and Basset lands that year. Despite - or because of - his father's rebellion against Henry III, Hugh would be intensely loyal to both Edward I and Edward II all his life.Hugh's wife was Isabel Beauchamp, widowed from Patrick de Chaworth in July 1283, and the mother of Maud de Chaworth <http://edwardthesecond.blogspot.com/2007/04/maud-de-chaworth-and-her-daughters.html>, who was born on 2 February 1282. Isabel was the daughter of William Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick (c. 1237-1298) and Maud FitzJohn (also called Fitzgeoffrey, died 1301), who was one of the four sisters and co-heiresses of John and Richard FitzJohn, who both died childless. Through her mother, Isabel Beauchamp was the first cousin of Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster (1259-1326) and of Robert, Lord Clifford (born 1274, killed at Bannockburn 1314). Isabel's date of birth is not known, but was sometime in the 1260s. Her younger brother Guy, Earl of Warwick, was probably born in 1272. He kidnapped Piers Gaveston in 1312, and was one of Edward II's most implacable enemies.The date of Hugh and Isabel's wedding is not known either, but in the Highworth Hundred Rolls of 10 September 1285, Isabel was still referred to by her married name, which places their marriage after this date. In 1286, they were fined 2000 marks for marrying without royal licence. Isabel died shortly before 30 May 1306, which was appalling timing as far as her elder son Hugh the Younger was concerned: he was knighted on 22 May, and married Eleanor de Clare on the 26th.Hugh the Elder never married again. At the beginning of Edward III's reign, on 15 February 1327, the Calendar of Miscellaneous Inquisitions records the complaint of William de Odyham, keeper of Odiham park, that he "was removed therefrom [from his keepership] by Hugh le Despenser the younger because he levied hue and cry upon Isabel the said Hugh's mother, who was taking 5 bucks in the park without warrant."Which tells us that: Isabel was a keen huntswoman, not too bothered about breaking the law, and that her son felt enough affection for her that he remembered the incident many years later, and used his influence to remove the man from his position.Isabel and Hugh the Elder had two sons and four daughters. Their dates of birth are not recorded, and what follows is just my best guess.

=========================

!Hapless favorite of King Edward II. When he and his father attained extraordinary eminence and influence with Edward II, the indignant Barons assembled and marched to St. Albans, whence they sent to Edward II a demand that the Spencers should be banished. This the king declined to do, and thereupon the Barons, under Lancaster, proceeded towards London to seize it. The king then, at the instance of the queen, acquiesced, whereupon the Barons called a parliament and the Spencers were banished by them. However, the king soon raised an army, recalled the Spencers, and gave them important commands, and encountered and defeated the Barons at Boroughbridge. The Spencers now became more powerful than before, and the elder Hugh was created Earl of Winchester, and loaded with grants of forfeited estates. Hugh, Jr., also obtained many valuable grants, and the two used their influence to have the queen and the young prince banished as traitors. When the excitement had somewhat subsided the queen returned, rallied the defeated Barons about her, and marched to Bristol, where the king and his favorites were. They seized Hugh, the elder, and hanged him in October 1326. Hugh, Jr., and the king escaped, but were shortly captured, and by the queen's order his Majesty was consigned to Berkeley Castle, and was murdered the next year, and Hugh, Jr., was sentenced "to be drawn upon a hurdle, with trumps and trumpets, through all the city of Hereford," and was then hanged and quartered Nov 29, 1326. Thus terminated two of the most celebrated royal favorites in the history of England. [Magna Charta Barons, p. 151, 222-3]

Brother-in-law of Gilbert de Clare who was killed at Bannockburn. He succeeded Gilbert as the new lord of Glamorgan. Hugh insisted upon the execution of Llywelyn Bren following his revolt of 1316. By 1318, Despenser was the leading supporter of the king's campaign against the Lords of the Ordinance, the reform pary which was seeking to restrict the powers of the crown. With the king's support, Despenser created an extensive domain for himself in southern Wales, his activities sparked off a war in the March in 1320 and led to Despenser's exile in 1321. [A History of Wales, p. 180-1]

From 1322-26, power in the kingdom of England lay in the hands of Hugh Despsner and his father, another Hugh, and the reforms they undertook have earned the praise of historians. They were monstrously acquisitive, however; in Wales, Hugh the Younger linked lordship with lordship until his lands extended from Pembroke to Chepstow. [A History of Wales, p. 182]

Outrage at the manner in which King Edward II openly flaunted his bisexuality led to the deaths of the king's intimates Piers Gaveston and Hugh Despenser. The murder of Hugh at Hereford in 1326 was a gruesome spectacle witnessed by Queen Isabella, the execution commencing with the cutting off of Despnser's genitals because of this alleged unnatural practices with the king. [Realm Vol. 62, May/June 1995, p. 25]

The new Lord of Glamorgan was Hugh le Despenser the younger, a favorite of Edward II, being technically his chamberlain. He had m. the eldest de Clare heiress, Eleanor, who had been awarded the lordship of Glamorgan with the castles of Caerphilly and Cardiff in the partition of the estates. Hugh, however, was not content with this share, and he began to encroach upon other people's lands. In 1318 Llywelyn Bren was removed to Cardiff and killed, despite the promises made at the time of his surrender, and his family were dispossessed. Despenser also used his influence with the king to grasp at some of the lands settled on his brothers-in-law Hugh d'Audley and Roger Damory.
By 1321 the baronial opposition was strong enough to move against the Despensers in south Wales, burning and destroying their property. The barons used the opportunity to enforce their complaints to the king, and reluctangly Edward had to send the Despensers--father and son--into exile. Nevertheless, in the next year, Edward II turned the tables on his opponents, defeated their leaders at the battle of Boroughbridge, imprisoned others (such as the powerful Marcher family of Mortimer), and recalled the Despensers from exile.
During the next four years the Despensers, lords of Glamorgan, were allowed a completely free hand to pursue their greedy ambitions, especially in south Wales. Indeed, it was at this time that Hugh the younger began work on his extensive modifications to the great hall at Caerphilly Castle. Meanwhile, in 1323 Roger de Mortimer had escaped from the Tower of London. He joined forces with Isabella, King Edward's estranged queen, and in 1326 they invaded England. The power of the Despensers was once more to crumble dramatically. Glamorgan and Caerphilly played a prominent part in the events that culminated in the deposition of Edward II and the death of Hugh le Despenser.
Edward II and the Desponsers retreated westwards. The elder Despenser was killed at Bristol, and the king and his party moved down the Wye valley to Chepstow, from whence they took ship, but contrary winds forced them to land eventually at Cardiff. For the next few days King Edward based himself at Caerphilly and left much of his treasure there with John de Felton, the constable, and the youngest Despenser. The king moved on to Neath, from where the remainder of his treasure was sent to various hiding places. Returning to Caerphilly, both the king and the younger Despenser were captured near Llantrisant. Hugh was hanged from a gallows 50' high and King Edward II was forced to abdicate in favour of his young son, before being barbarously murdered in Berkeley Castle early in 1327. [Caerphilly Castle, p. 12-14]

King Edward II granted Chepstow Castle to his half brother, Thomas de Brotherton, but for some years it was in the hands of the king's unscrupulous favourite, Hugh le Despenser the younger, who built up a substantial power in south Wales. When he fell from power in 1326 he fled to Chepstow with his father and the king. They tried to escape by boat to Ireland but the tides were against them and they were forced to land at Cardiff. All three were later captured. The Despensers were executed and the king was later murdered at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. [Chepstow Castle, p. 12]

He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Hereford. King's chamberlain 1313, banished with his father in 1321 by barons, they hated him for his wealth and rapacity; recalled by the king in 1322; negotiator of truce with Scotland in 1323; taken with king in 1326 by barons under Queen Isabella and hanged. [Webster's Biographical Dictionary, 1962 p 412]

In 1316 Caerphilly Castle passed to Eleanor and her husband, Hugh le Despenser, King Edward II's favourite. Caerphilly was besieged by Llywelyn Bren, a local chieftain, in a show of resentment against the new royal administration which had followed Gilbert de Clare's death. Llywelyn Bren was put to death by le Despenser in 1318, an act which was not to go unheeded by the neighbouring barons who were already alerted to the favourite's influence on King Edward II, and the effect such an alliance might have on their own properties. By 1321, their disgust was demonstrated not only by acts involving the destruction of much of the murderer's property in South Wales, but by making a powerful petition to the king, voicing their disapproval of the Despensers, father and son. As a result, Edward sent them both into exile, but only for a short time. On their return Hugh, the son, rebuilt the great hall at Caerphilly, which involved the expertise of the king's carpenter William de Hurley, and his master mason Thomas de la Bataille. [The Castles of Wales, p. 54-57]

Hugh Despenser was the first of the family to retain the lordship of Glamorgan for nearly a hundred years. The new lords wrote a sordid chapter in the history of Cardiff Castle.
Hugh continued his family's evil association with King Edward II, and Cardiff Castle became involved in the last tragic episodes in the life of that unhappy monarch. It was besieged and captured in 1321 in a raid on the Despenser territories mounted by the neighbouring marcher lords, who had been antagonised both by Hugh's attempts to use the king against them and by his enormous wealth, rapacity and arrogance--ti was said at the time that for all practical purposes the Despensers had been ruling the country. Edward was forced to banish the family, but soon they were back in favour and continuint their intrigues at the royal court.
Edward II's estranged wife Isabella (the She-Wolf of France') returned from France in 1326 and directed her army against her husband's favourites. Edward and Hugh Despenser fled for refuge to Glamorgan but were captured some 10 miles to the west of the castle. Hug was hanged at Hereford in 1326, one of the charges brought against him was that of the murder of Llywelyn Bren. His father was hanged without even the benefit of a trial at Bristol. [Cardiff Castle]

c.1290-1326. Son of Hugh, 3rd earl of Winchester. Hugh was knighted with the young prince Edward (later Edward II) in 1306, and the same year Edward I betrothed him to Eleanor de Clare, dau. o fGilbert de Clare, 9th earl of Gloucester, whom he married in 1309. After Edward II's accession in 1307 Hugh at first sided with the baronial opposition to the king.
By 1313 Hugh's opposition to Edward had cooled sufficient for him to be made king's chamberlain; his father, also Hugh Despenser, became Edward's principal adviser. In 1314 Hugh's bro-in-law Gilbert de clare was killed at the battle of Bannockburn. Hugh inherited a third share in the great Clare barony, which brought him sudden power and status--and bitter disagreement with Hugh Audley and Roger d'Amory over the partitioning of these lands. That may have been one reason for his joining his father in the king's camp in 1318. Hugh supplanted the elder Despenser in the king's affections, and was Edward's principal favourite from 1318.
In 1320 Hugh quarrelled with the barons of the Welsh marches when he tried to gain control over the lordship of Gower having first declared it forfeit to the crown. The marcher lords considered that their privileges were thereby being breached. They appealed to the king to dismiss Hugh, and, when Edward refused, they formed a league with Thomas, 2nd earl of Lancaster, and forced Edward to exile and disinherit the Despensers, father and son. In 1321 Edward entrusted Hugh the son to the mariners of the Cinque Ports, an open invitation to take up piracy. By the time he recalled him two months later, Hugh had seized the rich cargo of a Genoese vessel, murdering its crew, and had preyed on shipping throughout the English Channel.
Edward suppressed the marcher lords by force, and Hugh, and his father, returned to office in 1322. Thomas of Lancaster, the driving force behind the opposition to the Despensers, was executed that year, and Hugh's influence was unchecked for the next few years. In 1323 he negotiated a peace with Scotland, and directed Edward's treasurer, Walter Stapledon, bishop of Exeter, and his chancellor, Robert Baldock, in a series of highly profitable reforms to the royal household and Exchequer. Hugh also tricked one heiress out of the lordships of Gower and Usk, and terrorized Thomas of Lancaster's widow into surrendering hr lands. He spent the resulting wealth on extensions to his castle at Caerphilly.
Hugh's influence, like that of his father, ended in 1326, when Isabella of France, Edward II's wife, invaded England with the intention of forcing her husband to abdicate in favour of her son, Edward (later Edward III). Hugh fled with the king to Wales and, with him, hid in Neath Abbey until they were discovered by Isabella's forces. Hugh was taken to Hereford and put to death. [The Plantagenet Encyclopedia, p. 61]

Hugh le Despenser ("The Younger Despenser"), 1st Lord (Baron) le Despenser of the 29 July 1314 creation, KB, associated with his father in the period of ascendancy over Edward II in the early 1320's but reckoned more deserving than his father of the hatred of the generality of the baronial class; convicted as a traitor and hanged 29 Nov 1326, when all his honours were forfeited. [Burke's Peerage]--------------------------------------------------------------Sir Hugh le Despenser, hanged and quartered 24 Nov 1326, Lord Despenser; m. 1306 aft. 14 June, Alianore de Clare (34-5). [Magna Charta Sureties]--------------------------------------------------------------Hugh and his father were favorites of King Edward II (a weak king) and helped him throw off the mastery of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. Edward's reliance on the Despenser's drew the ire of his wife Isabel. She had become the mistress of Roger de Mortimer while on a diplomatic mission to France. In September 1326 the couple invaded England, executed the Despensers, and deposed Edward II in favor of his son, Edward III. Isabel was rumored to be involved in her husband Edward II's murder.
