REF "A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares, 1217-1314"
by Michael Altschul, Johns Hopkins Press, 1965, p. 173: "Less than a year later, the Despensers themselves returned in triumph. The king managed to win over to his side many of Lancaster's allies, and fighting again broke out, culminating in the royalist victory at Boroughbridge on March 22, 1322. Lancaster and his chief supporters, including Roger Damory and Bartholomew de Badlesmere, were executed, while D'Audley and the Mortimers were imprisoned."

Bartholomew de Badlesmere in the life time of his father received command to attend the king at Portsmouth, upon the 1st day of September, with horse and arms to embark with him for Gascony, and in the year that he succeeded to his paternal property was in the wars of Scotland. He was afterwards in the retinue of Robert de Clifford in the Welsh wars, and in the first year of King Edward I. was appointed the Governor of the castle of Bristol. In two years afterwards he was summoned to parliament as Badlesmere, and had a grant from the king, through the special influence of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester & Hereford, and Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, of the castle and manor of Chelham, in Kent, for his own and his wife's life, which castle had been possessed by Alexander de Baliol in the right of his wife Isabel, and ought to have been escheated to the crown on the decease of the said Alexander, by reason of the felony of John de .Straboli, Earl of Athol (Isabel's son and heir), who was hanged. In the 5th year of King Edward II., Lord Badlesmere was constituted Governor of the castle of Ledes, and obtained at the same time grants of divers extensive manors. In the next year but one, he was deputed , with Otto de Grandison and others, ambassador to the court of Rome, and the next year, upon the death of Robert de Clifford, he obtained a grant of the custody of the castle of Skyton in Yorkshire, as of all other castles in that county and Westmoreland, whereof the said Robert died possessed, to hold during the minority of Roger de Clifford, his son and heir. He was further indebted to the crown for numerous charters for fairs throughout his extensive manors; and he held the high office of steward of the household for a great number of years; but notwithstanding his thus basking in the sunshine of royal favor, his allegiance was not trustworthy, for joining the banner of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and other discontented nobles of that period, he went into Kent without the king's permission; where, being well received, he put himself at the head of some soldiers from his castle at Ledes, and thence proceeded to Canterbury, with 19 knights, having linen jackets under their surcoats, all his esquires being in plate armor, and thus repaired to the
shrine of St. Thomas, to the amazement of the good citizens. While Lord
Badlesmere remained at Canterbury, John de Crumwell and his wife sought his
lordship's aid, and , pledging himself to afford it, he hastened to Oxford, where the barons of his party had been then assembled. In the meantime the King being apprised of the baron's proceedings, dispatched the Queen to Ledes, and upon admission being denied her, the castle was regularly invested by Adomere de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, and John de Britannia, Earl of
Richmond, to whom it eventually surrendered, when Lord Badlesmere's wife,
young son, and daughters, all falling into the hands of the besiegers, were sent prisoners to the Tower of London. The baron and his accomplices afterwards were pursued by Edmund, Earl of Kent, and John de Warren, Earl of Surrey, and being defeated and taken prisoners at the battle of Boroughbridge, his lordship was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Canterbury, and his head set upon a pole at Burgate. At the time of the baron's execution upwards of ninety lords, knights, and others concerned in the same insurrection, suffered a similar fate in various parts of the kingdom. He married Margaret Clare, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of Thomas de Clare, 3rd son of Thomas de Clare, 2nd son of Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester. His widow continued as a prisoner in the Tower, until, through the influence of William Roos, Lord Roos, of Hamlake, and others, she obtained her freedom. Whereupon she went to the nunnery of Minoresses, outside of Adgate, in the suburbs of London. She had 2-shillings a day for her maintenance, to be paid by the sheriff of Essex; she subsequently,
however, obtained a large proportion of the deceased lords' manors as her
dowry.
