      Philip Le Despenser, 2nd Baron le Despenser (c.1365 Nettlestead, Suffolk, England - 20 June 1424) was the son and heir of Philip le Despenser, 1st Baron le Despenser.[1] Philip is listed in the Complete Peerage as being age 36 at the death of his father Philip Despencer in 1401.[2] He was knighted in 1385.

      He married Elizabeth De Tiptoft (or Tibetot, Tybotot), co-heiress and daughter of Robert Tiptoft, 3rd Lord Tybotot and his wife Margaret Deincourt. By this marriage he inherited the manors of Nettlestead and Barrow among others.

      It appears that he was never summoned to Parliament, and died on 20 June 1424 without male heir. His title passed to his only daughter, Margery le Despenser, wife of John de Ros, 7th Baron de Ros and secondly Roger Wentworth of Nettlestead, Esq. Margery and Roger Wentworth were ancestors to Jane Seymour, third queen consort of King Henry VIII.
