In Siege of Bristol (18–26 October 1326) Bristol was besieged by the forces of Isabella of France and Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March during the Despenser wars. Isabella and Mortimer's forces fought the garrison under Hugh Despenser the Elder for 8 days in a siege. They captured the fort after several attacks. == Siege of Bristol ==
Hugh Despenser the Elder was expecting an attack by the rebels. He ordered his walls be double-positioned with archers, and for the civilians to relocate inside of the castle. Isabella's troops were prepared to march. Isabella personally marched to the castle and began to attack it on 18 October. Her troops were mowed down by longbow, but she continued to charge. The Despnser's garrison held out against several more assaults. Again, Isabella continued her attacks. Her forces used battering rams to break down the gates, and Isabella rescued her daughters, Eleanor of Woodstock and Joan of the Tower from Despenser's custody.〔Doherty, p.92; Weir, pp233-4>.〕 After one final attack, Dispenser was forced to surrender, and was hanged the next day. Isabella's men had taken the greatest city in western England.
