ABSTRACT
EDWARD launched his desperate raid on the Temple on 26 June. Within hours, John de Grey's mansion nearby was in flames, John himself scrambling through a window into the Fleet with a mob of Londoners at his heels. Angry crowds flooded the streets. Richard de Ewell's houses were wrecked, Simon Passelew's pillaged. Armed bands burst into the homes of Cahorsins, hunted down royalists and, loud for the Provisions, raged through the city in incoherent insurrection.
