		King Edward's few allies deserted him; the Despensers were killed, and Edward himself was captured and abdicated in favour of his eldest son, Edward III of England.

		Hugh the younger actually waded through Edward's many financial and administrative difficulties and shored them up, but rather than being lauded for his efforts he incurred the nobility's wrath because he cashed in on his status as a favorite.
