Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II

Downfall of a King's Favourite

Kathryn Warner
Despite being the favourite of a king, the most powerful man in England and Wales, and the most hated, Hugh Despenser (c.1288/9–1326), lord of Glamorgan, has never been the subject of a full biography. Using sources including Hugh’s own letters and Edward II’s accounts, this personal portrait finds an articulate, intelligent and witty nobleman, and a soldier who fought with distinction at Bannockburn, to set against the villain who was hanged, drawn and quartered at Hereford in 1326.
