[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: During Simon de
Montfort's barons war, March 31, 1264 Londoners riot (London
was very pro de Montfort), burn townhouses of the hated William
de Lusignan, also prominent Royalist Lord Philip Basset, also
Richard of Cornwall's Westminster manor, & his beloved
Isleworth manor 7 miles away. Richard overnight goes from
trying to mediate a solution to, like Edward, ardently desiring
a battlefield confrontation.
On April 3, 1264 King Henry leads his Red Dragon Standard &
Army for Northampton, where most of Simon de Montfort's forces
are. April 4, 1264 they arrive at Northampton & confer with
Prince Edward (the real leader of the Royalist forces) for a
strategy session, those present included Philip Basset (whose
son-in-law Sir Hugh le Despenser was an ally of Simon's),
Humphrey de Bohun V the Earl of Hereford whose son Humphrey de
Bohun VI was with Simon, Hugh le Bigod there & his step son
Baldwin Wake was with Simon. Daffydd ap Gruffydd was also
there, as he continued to be in exile in England, aliied with
Prince Edward against his own brother Llywelyn ap Gruffydd.
April 5 1264 Bran de Montfort leads defense of St. Andrew's
Priory within the town & fights with suicidal bravery. The
walls had been undermined by the Prior who was secretly in
league with Prince Edward, & Bran was captured by some common
soldiers. At that point William de Lusignan & Ralph de
Mortimer rode up. Bran had just before taken part in the
looting of de Mortimer's lands in Radnorshire. de Lusignan
ordered his nephew Bran killed on the spot, but Dafydd ap
Gruffydd rode up & intervened telling them Edward would be
displeased to see his cousin Bran killed. de Lusignan attempts
to argue but Philip Basset (who commanded the attackers) then
rode up & commanded Bran be taken to Edward, and not to be
escorted by de Lusignan or de Mortimer, as they would arrange
an "accident" for Bran. Bran congratulated for his gallant
bravery by Edward & then sent to King Henry who moves him to
Windsor Castle.
