Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester
Hugh (1262 -1326 ), son of Hugh le Despenser II , sometimes referred to as "the elder Despenser", was for a time the chief adviser to King Edward II of England .
He was created a baron by writ of summons to Parliament in 1295. He was one of the few barons to remain loyal to Edward during the controversy regarding Piers Gaveston . Despenser became Edward's loyal servant and chief administrator after Gaveston was executed in 1312 , but the jealousy of other barons led to his being exiled along with his son in 1321 , when Edmund de Woodstoke replaced him as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
Edward found it difficult to manage without them, and recalled them to England a year later, an action which enraged the queen, Isabella , the more so when Despenser was created Earl of Winchester . When Isabella and her lover, Roger Mortimer , led a rebellion against the king, both Despensers were captured and executed. The elder Despenser was hanged at Bristol on October 27, 1326.
