The 4th of August is the anniversary of the battle of Evesham in 1265. Simon de Montfort was defeated and killed at this battle which took place during the reign of Henry III. I composed a song about this battle for the Mortimer History Society and the actor John Challis (Boycie in Only Fools and Horses) can be heard reading an introduction for the song.
