He was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort, and so might be deemed a Baron , though the legality of that assembly is doubtful. He remained allied with Montfort to the end, and was present at the Battle Of Lewes . He was killed fighting on de Montfort's side at the Battle Of Evesham . He was slain by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore ; this caused a feud to begin between the Despenser and Mortimer families. By his wife, Aline Bassett, he was father of Hugh The Elder Despenser . |
