Battle of Evesham 1265

The Battle of Evesham (4 August 1265) was one of the two main battles of 13th century England's Second Barons' War. It marked the defeat of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and the rebellious barons by the future King Edward I, who led the forces of his father, King Henry III. It took place on 4 August 1265, near the town of Evesham, Worcestershire.

Simon de Montfort and the rebellious barons fought against Prince Edward (later King Edward I) at the Battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265. Simon de Montfort was killed, leading to the collapse of the baronial rebellion and reinforcing royal authority in England.
