The '''Battle of Evesham''' was fought just to the north of the town on August 4, 1265 between forces led by Prince Edward (the future [[Edward I]]) and [[Simon de Montfort]], 6th earl of Leicester. Simon - whose cause was made almost impossible, first by the capture of his banners from his son, Simon “the younger” in a previous engagement then the sudden desertion of his [[Welsh]] cavalry early in the battle - was killed in the battle and his body mutilated. The monks of Evesham Abbey gathered up what they could and buried him.
