- W4328003651 abstract "In October 1326 the town of Bristol was the scene of several dramatic episodes in the chain of events that would lead eventually to Edward II’s deposition. Edward II fled from London upon Queen Isabella’s arrival in England in September 1326 with a group of supporters including Roger Mortimer and Prince Edward; he made his way west, accompanied by the Despensers, his leading advisers. Unsure of London’s loyalties at this critical juncture, he may have thought that he would find some support in south-west England and southern Wales, where the Despensers had constructed a major landed power base. According to at least one chronicle, Edward made his way straight to Bristol on hearing of the queen’s advance upon London. The town itself was one of the Despenser possessions, having been awarded to Hugh Despenser the younger in October 1320 along with Bristol Castle and the neighbouring royal manor of Barton for a yearly rent of £210. Before departing with the younger Despenser for the Bristol Channel, Edward made arrangements for the defence of Bristol, entrusting the elder Despenser with the custody of the castle and town. Feeling abandoned by the Londoners, the king clearly did not want to lose another major town to his pursuers, particularly one which at this time was, in Froissart’s words, ‘large and prosperous and strongly fortified’, and a potential source, therefore, of both financial and military aid." @default.
