From Wikipedia - Hugh le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer :

Sir Hugh (1223 - 4 August 1265 ) was an important ally of Simon de Montfort during the reign of Henry III . He served briefly as Justiciar of England in 1260 and as Constable of the Tower of London .

He was the son of Hugh le Despenser I and was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort, and so might be deemed a baron , though the legality of that assembly is doubtful. He remained allied with Montfort to the end, and was present at the Battle of Lewes . He was killed fighting on de Montfort's side at the Battle of Evesham . He was slain by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore ; this caused a feud to begin between the Despenser and Mortimer families.
By his wife, Aline Bassett, he was father of Hugh the elder Despenser . She was the daughter of Philip Basset , who had also served as Justiciar.
