In the same month he was sent with seven thousand archers to oppose Robin of Redesdale at
Edgecote. He quarrelled, however, with
William Herbert, first Earl of Pembroke, and retired with all his troops,7 with the result that Pembroke was defeated.
Edward IV thereupon ordered the sheriffs of Devonshire and Somerset to put him to death as soon as he was captured. He was apprehended by some commoners of Somerset, and beheaded at Bridgwater on 17 Aug. 1469. He was buried in Glastonbury Abbey, and his will was proved on 29 Feb. 146i9-70.
