The Anatomy of a Battle: Towton 1461 On Palm Sunday 1461, two massive medieval armies clashed on an exposed Yorkshire plateau in one of the most brutal battles ever fought on British soil. This singular engagement of the Wars of the Roses, known as the Battle of Towton, was a ruthless and bitterly contested fight for the crown of England. Andrew Boardman sheds new light on this pivotal event, exploring what drove the contending armies to fight at Towton and uncovering the truth behind the legends about this terrible encounter. Contemporary accounts describe rivers running red with blood, but what really happened on that fateful day? Boardman's updated edition provides a fascinating insight into the reality of the battlefield, offering a fresh perspective on one of history's most infamous battles.
