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.
