REF: "Falls the Shadow" Sharon Kay Penman: During Simon de Montfort's barons war, March 31, 1264 Londoners riot (London was very pro de Montfort), burn townhouses of the hated William de Lusignan, also prominent Royalist Lord Philip Basset, also Richard of Cornwall's Westminster manor, & his beloved Isleworth manor 7 miles away. Richard overnight goes from trying to mediate a solution to, like Edward, ardently desiring a battlefield confrontation.
On April 3, 1264 King Henry leads his Red Dragon Standard & Army for Northampton, where most of Simon de Montfort's forces are. April 4, 1264 they arrive at Northampton & confer with Prince Edward (the real leader of the Royalist forces) for a strategy session, those present included Philip Basset (whose son-in-law Sir Hugh le Despenser was an ally of Simon's), Humphrey de Bohun V the Earl of Hereford whose son Humphrey de Bohun VI was with Simon, Hugh le Bigod there & his step son Baldwin Wake was with Simon. Daffydd ap Gruffydd was also there, as he continued to be in exile in England, aliied with Prince Edward against his own brother Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. April 5 1264 Bran de Montfort leads defense of St. Andrew's Priory within the town & fights with suicidal bravery. The walls had been undermined by the Prior who was secretly in league with Prince Edward, & Bran was captured by some common soldiers. At that point William de Lusignan & Ralph de Mortimer rode up. Bran had just before taken part in the looting of de Mortimer's lands in Radnorshire. de Lusignan ordered his nephew Bran killed on the spot, but Dafydd ap Gruffydd rode up & intervened telling them Edward would be displeased to see his cousin Bran killed. de Lusignan attempts to argue but Philip Basset (who commanded the attackers) then rode up & commanded Bran be taken to Edward, and not to be escorted by de Lusignan or de Mortimer, as they would arrange an "accident" for Bran. Bran congratulated for his gallant bravery by Edward & then sent to King Henry who moves him to Windsor Castle.

Philip married Hawise De Lorraine between 23 Mar 1254 and 1255 in , Essex, England. Hawise (daughter of Matthew De Lorraine and Muriel Unknown) was born about 1215 in Little Eaton, Essex, England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
