THE BANASTRE REBELLION

 

St Crispin’s day has been

A bloody day in history

Famous for being a day 

When battles were fought

High in the cost of life

Among these, in 1315

A century before Agincourt,

Was the Banastre Rebellion

Against the Earl of Lancaster

When disaffected Knights

Adam Banastre, Henry de Lea

And William Bradshaw,

Led an attack on Liverpool Castle
