In the 1173 rebellion against King Henry II, the earl of Leicester landed near Walton with an army of Flemings. Presumably he took the castle, but it does not necessarily follow, for he failed before Dunwich. In conjunction with Earl Hugh Bigod he garrisoned Bungay and Framlingham, took Hagenet, and secured Norwich by treachery. Then he marched westwards from Framlingham towards Bury, for, as the chronicler gibes, the hospitatlity of St. Edmund's was proverbial. At Farnham St. Genevieve they were met by the abbot's forces under Walter Fitz-Robert and the king's men led by Richard de Lucy and the earl of Arundel, who had both come with all speed from the Scottish border, and defeated. The countess of Leicester was captured crouching in a ditch, and her husband was also taken. [Victoria History of Suffolk, p. 166]
