In the quarrel about Gaveston in 1308 he alone sided with the King against the barons. He was at the battle of Bannockburn 1314 and accompanied the King in his flight. In 1321 he and his son were accused of “accroaching to themselves royal power, counselling the King evilly, replacing good ministers with bad, etc.” and were exhiled, but returned the next year, when he was created Earl of Winchester (age 61). On Edward II’s flight to Wales in 1326, Despenser was dispatched to defend Bristol, but surrendered to the Queen, and was tried and hanged on the common gallows 24 Oct 1326 (age 65).
