Pembroke lodged his prisoner in Deddington in Oxfordshire.
On 10 June, while Pembroke was away, Warwick forcibly carried away Gaveston to Warwick Castle.
Here, in the presence of Warwick, Lancaster and other magnates, Gaveston was sentenced to death at an improvised court.
On 19 June he was taken to a place called Blacklow Hillon Lancaster's landsand decapitated.
According to the Annales Londonienses chronicle, four shoemakers brought the corpse back to Warwick, but he refused to accept it, and ordered them to take it back to where they found it.
Gaveston's body was eventually taken to Oxford by some Dominican friars, and in 1315, King Edward finally had it buried at Kings Langley.
