The Battle of Wilton was a battle of the civil war in England known as The Anarchy. It was fought on 1 July 1143[1][note 1] at Wilton in Wiltshire. An army under King Stephen was stationed at Wilton Abbey, where it was attacked by an army led by Robert Earl of Gloucester. Although King Stephen's army was defeated, the king himself escaped capture.
