BADLESMERE, See also:BARTHOLOMEW, See also:BARON (I275-1322) , See also:English nobleman, was the son and See also:heir of Gunselm de Badlesmere (d. 1301), and fought in the English See also:army both in See also:France and See also:Scotland during the later years of the reign of See also:Edward I. In 1307 he became See also:governor of See also:Bristol See also:Castle, and afterwards Edward II. appointed him steward of his See also:household; but these marks of favour did not prevent him from making a compact with some other noblemen to gain supreme See also:influence in the royal See also:council. Although very hostile to See also:Earl See also:Thomas of See also:Lancaster, Badlesmere helped to make See also:peace between the See also:king and the earl in 1318, and was a member of the See also:middle party which detested alike Edward's minions, like the Despensers, and his violent enemies like Lancaster. The king's conduct, however, See also:drew him to the See also:side of the earl, and he had already joined Edward's enemies when, in See also:October 1321, his wife, See also:Margaret de See also:Clare, refused to admit See also:Queen See also:Isabella to her See also:husband's castle at See also:Leeds in See also:Kent. The king captured the castle, seized and imprisoned See also:Lady Badlesmere, and See also:civil See also:war began. After thedefeat of Lancaster at See also:Boroughbridge, Badlesmere was taken and hanged at See also:Canterbury on the 14th of See also:April 1322. His son and heir, See also:Giles, died without See also:children in 1338.
