The one led by Richard Vernon was overshadowed by a feud involving Henry Beaufort that forced the banning of weapons, which itself led to clubs, or "bats" being sneaked inside.

Thomas Audley, Humphrey Wingfield and Richard Rich, successively, oversaw the "Reformation" one, which contemporaneously saw the title of Head of the Church bestowed to Henry VIII during its seven year span. The one under James I in 1614 was memorably "Adled," while the one organized in 1265 by Simon de Montfort is often cited as the first modern example of one in England.
