Notes about Sir William Lord Bonville of Chewton Knight of the Garter Bonville

In return for their gallantry the King promised the two men immunity. Disregarding the King's promise of immunity, she gave orders for the beheading of Lord Bonville and Sir Thomas Kyriel the next day, 18 February 1461, despite the King's pleas for mercy.

It is alleged that she put the men on trial and had her seven-year old son, Prince Edward, preside as judge. "Fair son", Margaret inquired, "what death shall these knights die?" The boy allegedly replied that they were to have their heads cut off, an act which was swiftly carried out,
