The Battle of Burton Bridge takes place during the Despenser War in England between Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster and his cousin King Edward II of England during the Despenser War, from 7 to 10 March 1322. Lancaster attempted to scape but was eventually captured at the battle of Boroughbridge on March 16, 1322 and later executed on the King's orders.
Lancaster's defeat temporarily removed the threat to Edward's rule, but the King's unpopularity with his barons led to his forced abdication to the throne in favor of his son Edward III.
