Philip Mede of Wraxall, an alderman and mayor of Bristol in 1459, 1462, and 1469,[5] sent some men on the Berkeley side.

Maurice Berkeley, William's younger brother, had married Isabel Mede, Philip's daughter, for which act of marrying beneath his social status he had been disinherited of the Berkeley lands by his elder brother, William.

[6] Lisle led his men in a charge against Berkeley's troops as they emerged from a stand of woods.

One of the Dean Foresters, an archer named "Black Will", shot Lisle in the left temple through his open visor and unhorsed him.

A few dagger-strokes from the archers ensured Lisle's death,[7] and his leaderless army broke and fled.
