Abstract

Once John had gone and the war had ended, the lines of political division altered. The Charter was quickly reissued, in a more limited form. Very soon ex-rebels and the native loyalists were working easily together; Brian de Lisle, Hugh de Balliol, Robert de Vieuxpont, by the side of Thomas of Moulton, Robert de Percy, or Robert de Ros. Loyalist and rebel now found a common interest and a common bond in unseating John's foreigners, in breaking the grip which Robert de Gaugy, William de Fors, and Faulkes de Breauté still had on the administration.
