2. Ralph Bassett, of Drayton (1.Isabel1) was born in 1215 in Drayton; died on 4 Aug 1265 in Battle of Evesham. Notes:
Summoned to Parliament 24 Dec 1264 by writ but this writ did not create a peerage as it was issued "in rebellion". He was slain at the battle of Evesham, fighting against the King, who, however, continued the estates to his widow and son, as her father had fought for the King at Evesham. His widow married Ralph de Cromwell as his second wife. She survived him and took the veil before 18 Jun 1293.
"Ralph Basset had summons to attend the King at Chester, to oppose
the incursions of the Welch." He was one of the chief supporters of Simon de Montfort in the baronial war, was summoned to his parliament in 1264, and died fighting by his side at Evesham. It is said that Montfort, when he saw the great army, led by Prince Edward, that was drawn up against him," concluded that he should miscarry in that battle, and therefore advised this Ralph Basset,and Hugh de Spenser, to get away, and reserve themselves for better times, but they answered,' If he perished they should not desire to live.'
