Description
The Battle of Towton: England's Bloodiest Conflict On Palm Sunday, 29 March 1461, the armies clashed in a snow-covered field south of Towton village in Yorkshire. The struggle lasted all day, culminating in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485). As the Lancastrian line broke under Yorkist reinforcements led by the Duke of Norfolk, many were caught and killed in the infamous 'Bloody Meadow'. The Battle of Towton marked a turning point in the conflict, solidifying King Edward IV's claim to the throne. This book examines the campaign that led to this pivotal moment in English history. With 96 pages of detailed analysis, Christopher Gravett provides a comprehensive account of one of England's most significant battles.
