Edward le Despenser (1310–1342) was the third eldest son of Hugh le Despenser the Younger by his wife Eleanor de Clare.[1]
His father is famous for being the favourite of Edward II of England, and consequently being executed for it. Through his mother, he was a great-grandson of Edward I of England.
Early life
Although his exact whereabouts before the execution of his father are unknown, it is believed that he was among the children living with their mother Eleanor during her imprisonment in the Tower of London (November 1326 - February 1328).[2] He was clearly too young to be seen as a threat to Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, unlike his older brother, Hugh (who was imprisoned by the two in 1327).
Marriage and children
After coming into his estates in November 1334, he soon married Anne Ferrers of Groby, (sister of Henry, Lord Ferrers [presumably the Henry born 1303. Edward was born in 1310.]). They had four surviving sons:
Edward le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer - he inherited the Despenser estates from his paternal uncle Hugh.
Hugh le Despenser
Thomas le Despenser
Henry le Despenser
