[MR] Wikepedia: Battle of Evesham

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

Today marks the 751st anniversary of the Battle of Evesham, the key 
conflict which largely ended the Second Barons' War. Simon de Montifort, 
6th Earl of Leicester, had essentially seized the government of England 
and held Henry III, the King's brother Richard of Cornwall, and Prince 
Edward (later Edward I). Edward escaped and raised an army that trapped 
de Montifort near Evesham. In the resulting massacre, de Montifort and 
his son Henry both died in the fighting and the rebel army was nearly 
wiped out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Evesham . Although 
this didn't end the war, the remaining actions were largely mopping up.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
