Early in 1322 , King Edward took forces north in England to subdue his cousin Thomas, Earl Of Lancaster . Thomas was pushed further north, where he may have been hoping to join up with forces from Scotland. However on March 16 , he found his way across the river Ure barred by forces of Sir Andrew Harclay . Sir Andrew used the infantry tactics which were later to prove so effective against the French at Crecy , and the rebels were defeated. Of the rebel leaders, Humphrey De Bohun , 4th Earl of Hereford, was killed, and the rest captured. The prisoners were later convicted of treason and executed. |
