  Hugh le Despenser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Hugh le Despenser (or Hugh Despenser) was the name of five English lords during the 13th and 14th centuries, in a direct line of descent.
His son Hugh (1262-1326), sometimes referred to as "the elder Despenser", was for a time the chief adviser to King Edward II of England.
Despenser became Edward's loyal servant and chief administrator after Gaveston was executed in 1312, but the jealousy of other barons led to his being exiled along with his son in 1321.

 Hugh Despenser
Although not of the highest rank, Hugh was a nobleman; his grandfather and uncle were earls of Warwick, his paternal grandmother was countess of Norfolk, and his half-sister Maud was married to Henry of Lancaster, the nephew of Edward I and the brother-in-law of Philip IV of France.
Hugh was somewhat impoverished, at least by the standards of those surrounding him, and in a society where power was predicated on land, his lack of material property and wealth meant that, politically, he was totally insignificant.
Hugh’s father was executed in October 1326, and not long afterwards Hugh himself was captured in South Wales, with the king.

 Hugh le Despenser
Before this time Hugh's son, the younger Hugh le Despenser, had become associated with his father, and having been appointed the king's chamberlain was enjoying a still larger share of the royal favor.
While the elder Hugh left England the younger one remained; soon the king persuaded the clergy to annul the sentence against them, and father and son were again at court.
The elder Despenser was seized at Bristol, where he was hanged on the 27th of October 1326, and the younger was taken with the king at Llantrisant and hanged at Hereford on the 24th of November following.

In fact, Edward seems to have disliked Hugh until at least 1318 and to have been keen to keep the lands Eleanor inherited from her brother out of Hugh's hands for as long as possible.
Hugh's date of birth is unknown, but he was several years older, most likely seventeen, eighteen or nineteen.
Clearly, a few of their children were conceived after Hugh became the 'favourite' of Eleanor's uncle in the period 1318-1320, a position he held till his execution in 1326.
