Most of the rebel leaders were captured and executed, including Henry Beaufort, 3rd Duke of Somerset, Robert Hungerford, 3rd Baron Hungerford and Philip Wentworth, Knight of Nettlestead, Suffolk.
They were later joined by the Duke of Somerset and the Earl of Devon, who brought their forces from the West Country.
