Gilbert de See also:Clare, earl of See also:Gloucester (d. 1295). He was See also:regent of the See also:kingdom during the king's See also:short See also:absence in See also:France in 1308, and took a very prominent See also:part at Edward's See also:coronation in See also:February of this See also:year. These proceedings aroused the anger and See also:jealousy of the barons, and their wrath was diminished neither by Gaveston's See also:superior skill at the See also:tournament, nor by his haughty and arrogant behaviour to themselves. They demanded his banishment; and the king, forced to assent, sent his favourite to See also:Ireland as See also:lieutenant, where he remained for about a year. Returning to England in See also:July 1309, Edward persuaded some of the barons to See also:sanction this proceeding; but as Gaveston was more insolent than ever the old jealousies soon See also:broke out afresh. In 1311 the king was forced to agree to the See also:election of the " ordainers," and the ordinances they See also:drew up provided inter See also:cilia for the perpetual banishment of his favourite. Gaveston then retired to See also:Flanders, but returned secretly to England at the end of 1311. Soon he was publicly restored by Edward, and the barons had taken up arms. Deserted by the king he surrendered to See also:Aymer de See also:Valence, earl of See also:Pembroke (d. 1324), at See also:Scarborough in May 1312, and was taken to Deddington in See also:Oxfordshire, where he was seized by See also:Guy de See also:Beauchamp, earl of See also:Warwick (d. 1315).
