Despenser, Hugh le, English nobleman, son of Hugh le Despenser. A supporter of the king against the barons, he fought under Edward I, for whom he secured a papal release from an oath to refrain from excessive taxation. When the barons forced Edward's son and successor, Edward II, to banish his favorite, Piers Gaveston, le Despenser supported Gaveston and in 1312 succeeded him as the royal favorite. Edward II made him earl of Winchester in 1322, and le Despenser, together with his son, Hugh, acquired vast wealth. The barons established a coalition to challenge Edward II and le Despenser, and open warfare broke out between the king and the barons. At the battle of Boroughbridge in 1322, the king's forces defeated the coalition. The elder le Despenser became virtual ruler of England, instituted several important administrative reforms, and concluded peace with Scotland in 1323. In 1326 Isabella, queen consort of England, formed an alliance with the barons against Edward and the le Despensers in favor of Edward's and Isabella's son, young Prince Edward. In a general uprising, the forces of Edward II were defeated and both father and son le Despenser were hanged.

Hugh married Eleanore (Alianore) De CLARE on 1 May 1306 in Westminister, London, Middlesex, England. Eleanore (daughter of Gilbert I "The Red Earl" De CLARE, Sir Knight/9Th Earl/Gloucester and Princess Joan PLANTAGENET, of Acre) was born on 3 Oct 1292 in Caerphilly Castle, Caerphilly, Glamorganshire, Wales; died on 30 Jun 1337 in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England.

Hanley Castle by Sir William La Zouche de Mortimer, of Ashby, co. Leicester, who (subsequently) married her. Soon afterwards this William, accompanied by her, was besieging her castle of Caerphilly, and orders for their arrest issued, 5 Feb.
1328/9. She was imprisoned in the Tower and then in Devizes Castle, and though ordered to be released by the King and his Council did not regain her liberty till after 6 Jan 1329/30. [on the same day she was kidnapped from Hanley Castle by
Zouche] John de Grey [of Rotherfield] claiming her as his wife, obtained a commission of oyer and terminer. He was still claiming her as late as May 1333, having in the interval pursued her, with little success, through various ecclesiastical
courts, the Pope having been appealed to a at least three times. In Jan. 1331/2 he had hot words with his rival before the King and the council. "Et apres les choudes paroles si mist le dit monsire Johan mayn au cotel et treit en partie, mes
ne mie tut hors de gayne." For this he was imprisoned, and his lands taken into the King's hand, for a couple of months. ---------------------------- She was charged with having stolen from the Tower jewels and treasure of great value [these
were probably her late husband's, his wardrobe having been there]. In the petition she stated that Roger de Mortimer, late Earl of March, had said openly tht she would not be released till she and her husband had surrendered to the King her
lands of Glamorgan and Morgannoc, and the manors of Hanley and Tewkesbury, which Roger coveted. Accordingly, by indenture dated 30 Dec. 3 Edw. III, they granted all these lands to the King, the same to be restored to the premises for a fine of L10,000 in one day, and they were pardoned 22 Feb. following. On 19 Jan. 1330/1, after Mortimer had been hanged, they recovered the premises for a fine fo L10,000, reduced 3 days afterwards to L5,000. On 13 Oct. 1335 they were pardoned a futher 2,000 marks, but the fine was not paid in full during their lives. She was committed to the Tower, 17 Nov. 1326 (before the execution of her husband).
