[5702] Hugh, Lord le Despencer, was Baron Despencer, Governor of Odiham Castle, Chamberlain, and said to be a pirate. {"Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 74-32} [He was hanged and quartered]. He has been called Earl of Gloucester by some writers but The Complete Peerage (vol.V, p. 715) makes it clear he was not. See The Complete Peerage, vol. IV, pp. 267-271. Homer Beers James (web site in 2003: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/james/f028.htm#I1364X1) offers: "Hugh Despencer, Junior, was born in 1262, died in 1326. Earl of Winchester, he bore the same Christian name as his father (d. 1265) and his son (d. 1326). In the 22nd year of the reign of King Edward I., he was made Governor of Oldham castle, co. Southampton, and the same year had summons to attend the king in Portsmouth, prepared with horse and arms for an expedition into Gascony. In two years afterwards he was at the battle of Dunbar, in Scotland, where the English arms triumphed; and the next year he was one of the commissioners accredited to treat of peace between the English monarch and kings of the Romans and of France. In the 26th and 28th years of Edward I he was again engaged in the wars of Scotland, and was sent by his sovereign, with the Earl of Lincoln, to the papal court, to complain of the Scots, and to entreat that his holiness would no longer favor them, as they had abused his confidence by falsehoods. To the very close of King Edward I's reign his lordship seems to have enjoyed the favor of that great prince, and had summons to parliament from him from June 23, 1295, to March 14, 1322; but it was after the accession of Edward's unhappy son, the second of that name, that the Spencers attained that extraordinary eminence, from which, with their feeble-minded master, they were eventually hurled into the gulf of irretrievable ruin. In the first years of Edward II.'s reign, we find the father and son still engaged in the Scottish wars. In the 14th year the king, hearing of great animosities between the younger Spencer and Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and learning that they were collecting their followers in order to come to open combat, interfered, and strictly commanded Lord Hereford to forbear. About the same time, a dispute arising bestrewn the Earl of Hereford and John de Mowbray regarding some lands in Wales, young Spencer seized possession of the estate, and kept it from both the litigants. This conduct, and similar proceedings on the part of the elder Spencer, exciting the indignation of the barons, they formed a league against the favorites, and placing the king's cousin, Thomas Plantaganet, Earl of Lancaster, at their head, marched, with banners flying, from Sherbourne to St. Alban's, whence they dispatched the Bishops of Salisbury, Hereford, and Chichester, to the king with a demand that the Spencers should be banished; to which mission the king, however, giving an imperious reply in the negative, the irritated nobles continued their route to London; when Edward, at the instance of the queen, acquiesced; whereupon the barons summoned a parliament, in which the Spencers were banished from England; and the sentence was proclaimed in Westminster Hall. To this decision, Hugh the elder submitted and retired; but Hugh the younger lurked in divers places; sometimes on land, and sometimes at sea, and was fortunate enough to capture, during his exile, two vessels near Sandwich, laden with merchandise to the value of 40,000 pounds; after which, being recalled by the king, an army was raised, which encountered and defeated the baronial forces at Boroughbridge, in Yorkshire. In this action, wherein numbers were slain, the Earl of Pontefract, and there, after a summary trial (the elder Spencer being one of his judges), beheaded. The Spencers now became more powerful than ever, and the elder was immediately created Earl of Winchester, the king loading him with grants of forfeited estates. He was about the same time constituted warden of the king's forests on the south of Trent, the lands forfeited after the battle of Boroughbridge; but not satisfied with those, and they were incredibly numerous, he extorted by force whatsoever else he pleased. Amongst other acts of unlawful oppression, it is related that he seized upon the person of Elizabeth Comyn, a great heiress, the wife of Richard Talbot, in her house at Kennington, in Surrey, and detained her for twelve months in prison, until he compelled her to assign to him the manor of Painswike, in Gloucestershire, and the castle and manor of Goderich, in the marches of Wales; but this ill-obtained and ill-exercised power was not formed for permanent endurance, and a brief space only was necessary to bring it to termination. The queen and the young prince, who had fled to France, and had been proclaimed traitors through the influence of the Spencers, ascertaining the feelings of the people, ventured to return; and landed at Harwick, with the noblemen and persons of eminence who had been exiled after the defeat at Boroughbridge, raised the royal standard, and soon found themselves at the head of a considerable force; when, marching upon Bristol, where the king and his favorites then were, they were received in that city with acclimation, and the elder Spencer being seized (although in his 90th year), was brought in chains before the prince and the barons, and received judgment of death, which was accordingly executed, by hanging the culprit upon the gallows in the sight of the king and of his son, upon St. Dennis's day, in October, 1326. It is said by some writers that the body was hung up with two strong cords for four days, and then cut to pieces, and given to the dogs. Young Spencer, with the king, effected his escape; but they were both, soon afterwards, taken and delivered to the queen, when the unfortunate monarch was consigned to Berkeley Castle, where he was basely murdered in 1327. Hugh Spencer the Younger, it appears, was impeached before parliament, and received sentences "to be drawn upon a hurdle, with trumps and trumpets, throughout all the city of Hereford," and there to be hanged and quartered, which sentence was executed on a gallows 50 feet high, upon St. Andrew's eve, in the year 1326 (20th year of Edward II). Thus terminated the career of two of the most celebrated royal favorites in the annals of England. The younger Hugh was a peer of the realm, as well as his father, having been summoned to parliament as a baron, from July 29, 1314, to October 10, 1325; but the two Baronies of Spencer, and the Earldom of Winchester, expired under the attainders of the father and son. Hugh the younger married Eleanor (Eleanora) Clare, daughter and co-heir of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, and his wife, Joane Plantaganet, who later married William Zouche." http://members.aol.com/dwidad/despens2.html#6 in 2003 reports he was b. ca. 1290, which appears more reasonable given his father's birth-year.
