Book Description
This medieval military history uses archeological research to shed new light on this significant and bloody battle in the Wars of the Roses. The battle at Towton in Yorkshire on March 29th, 1461, was a major turning point in the Wars of the Roses. It was also the largest, longest fought, and bloodiest day in English medieval history. In terms of the number of troops involved, the ruthlessness of the fighting, the quantity of casualties, and the decisive nature of its outcome, Towton stands out from the long sequence of battles fought for control of England in the fifteenth century. Drawing on the discoveries of modern archaeological research, historian John Sadler pieces together what actually happened on that fateful day. In this vivid reconstruction of the battle, he offers unflinching insight into the cruelties of medieval warfare.

Book Description
Palm Sunday 1461 was the date of a ruthless and bitterly contested battle, fought by two massive medieval armies on an exposed Yorkshire plateau for the prize of the crown of England. This singular engagement of the Wars of the Roses has acquired the auspicious title of the longest, biggest and bloodiest battle ever fought on British soil. But what drove the contending armies of York and Lancaster to fight at Towton and what is the truth behind the legends about this terrible encounter, where contemporaries record that the rivers ran red with blood? Andrew Boardman answers these questions and many more in the new updated edition of his classic account of Towton which provides a fascinating insight into the reality of the battlefield. The Battle of Towton is illustrated throughout with contemporary illustrations, modern photographs and specially drawn maps.

Book Description
The Wars of the Roses was a complicated, bloody affair between the houses of Lancaster and York, and witnessed much changing of sides. That disjointed feuding persisted for a staggering thirty years and was a north versus south affair. However, the period and conflicts covered by this title are refreshingly clear. An intriguing tale of treachery and deceit.
