Misc. Notes
Edward le Despenser was the third eldest son of Hugh le Despenser the Younger by his wife Eleanor de Clare.
His father is famous for being the favorite of Edward II of England, and consequently being executed for it. Through his mother, he was a great-grandson of Edward I of England.
Like a few of his brothers, Edward served in Edward III's military campaigns. In 1342, he accompanied his older brother Hugh to mainland Europe. Although they were originally heading for Gascony, they were diverted to Brest to aid King Edward's ally the Countess of Montfort in the Breton Civil War. On September 30, 1342, he and his brother's forces joined the English and helped achieve a victory against the French army at Morlaix. Unfortunately, Edward died during the battle. He was the highest-ranking English casualty there..
