Martyn John Lawrence in his dissertation on the Despensers cites to the "Chronicon Thomae Wykes," which on pages 175-76 has this to say:<br /><br />Uxor quippe H[ugonis] Dispensarii, qui turri Londoniarum et captivos insignes, quos in ea vinctos tenebat, universos et singulos, solo comité Ferariensi4 duntaxat excepto, liberos abire permisit, et ad terras patris sui domini Philippi Basset luctuosa se transferens, mortem mariti sui inconsolabiliter deplorabat.<br /><br />This is in Annales monastici, Volume 4, available on Google Books here:<br /><br />http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA176&lpg=PA566&dq=chronicon+thomas+wykes&sig=clAawvEePpDbtLVhcsJO3EhnJkc&ei=y0M4TYuyB8T58AafhezRCg&ct=result&id=xycJAAAAIAAJ&ots=2wiymc1UOV#v=onepage&q&f=falseSusan Higginbothamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517907583894026599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-47571141219206820052011-01-20T01:38:53.763-05:002011-01-20T01:38:53.763-05:00Hi Susan,

Apart from a one liner in Powicke's "Thirteenth Century", I haven't found any other note about this. Do you happen to know where this is mentioned, for example in any contemporary chronicles?<br />Thanks!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096829586344513927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-60529014868667428612007-03-23T18:51:00.000-04:002007-03-23T18:51:00.000-04:00Thanks, ladies!

I hadn't realised the Despensers were so closely connected with Simon de Montfort.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-41999896297306425372007-03-22T09:52:00.000-04:002007-03-22T09:52:00.000-04:00Great post!

And I didn't know that Aline used the Despenser name even during her second marriage - that certainly suggests she had strong feelings for Hugh, as the Bigod name was much more prestigious.Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.com
