  REF:  "Falls the Shadow" Shar on Kay Penman: During Simon de Montfort's
  barons war, March 31, 1264 Londoner s riot (London was very pro de
  Montfort), burn townhouses of the hated Willia m de Lusignan, also
  prominent Royalist Lord Philip Basset, also Richard of Co rnwall's
  Westminster manor, & his beloved Isleworth manor 7 miles away.  Rich ard
  overnight goes from trying to mediate a solution to, like Edward,
  arden tly desiring a battlefield confrontation.
  On April 3, 1264 King Henry leads hi s 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, thos e 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 Humph rey de
  Bohun VI was with Simon, Hugh le Bigod there & his step son Baldwin Wa ke
  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
  Lly welyn 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 & R alph 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 kille d on the spot, but Dafydd ap
  Gruffydd rode up & intervened telling them Edwar d would be displeased to
  see his cousin Bran killed.  de Lusignan attempts to argue but Philip
  Basset (who commanded the attackers) then rode up & command ed Bran be
  taken to Edward, and not to be escorted by de Lusignan or de Morti mer, as
  they would arrange an "accident" for Bran.  Bran congratulated for hi s
  gallant bravery by Edward & then sent to King Henry who moves him to
  Wind sor Castle.
