Chapter 15
Nowhere was there Peace
The fall of Ely in July 1267 was the last act in a civil war that had rumbled on for over eight years. Inevitably, after so many years of conflict and dislocation, England was in a sad state. A later account provides a convincing impression of the country at this time:
The greater part of the disinherited infested the roads and streets and became robbers. Then a deadly struggle broke out between the king and the disinherited, in the course of which villages were burned, towns wrecked, whole stretches of land depopulated, churches pillaged, religious driven from their monasteries, clerics had money extorted from them and the common people were ruined. Nowhere was there peace, nowhere security.1
