The Battle

History & Significance

After the Battle of Evesham, many Montfortian supporters — the Disinherited — continued resistance across England including in Lincolnshire and the Fens. Outlawed and with their lands forfeit, they had nothing to lose. The fenland environment offered natural refuges similar to the Ely resistance of a century earlier. The Dictum of Kenilworth in October 1266, which offered terms allowing rebels to buy back their lands at multiples of their annual value, gradually ended this resistance over the following years.

Forces Involved

Royalists: Prince Edward\'s pacification forces. Disinherited: baronial remnants and their retinues
