[5701] {Carr P. Collins, Jr., "Royal Ancestors...," p. 78, gives this line and states Hugh m. ca. 1286 Isabel Beauchamp who d. in May,1306.} Find A Grave Memorial 16441434 offers: "He was one of the few barons to remain loyal to Edward, however, his corruption forced him being exiled along with his son, Hugh, the younger in 1321. Edward recalled them to England a year later, an action which enraged the queen, Isabella, the more so when Despenser was created Earl of Winchester. She rebelled against the king and with Roger Mortimer, led a rebellion against her husband Edward. They captured both Despensers - first the elder, later the younger. Queen Isabella interceded for Hugh, the elder, but his enemies, notably, Roger Mortimer and Henry, Earl of Lancaster, insisted they face trial and execution. The elder Despenser was hanged immediately in his armour at Bristol on October 27, 1326. He was then beheaded and his body cut into pieces for the dogs. His head was sent for display to Winchester, which had supported the king." Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_le_Despenser,_Earl_of_Winchester.
