Battle Of Evesham




The Battle of Evesham is sometimes considered to have marked the end of the age of Chivalry in England . Until this time, the nobility were rarely killed in battle, more often taken prisoner and ransomed. Under the command of Prince Edward, however, no quarter was given to the baronial rebels—most were killed on the battlefield, including Simon De Montfort and his son Henry, despite attempts to surrender.
