The Lancastrian army was conducting a triumphant march on the
capital, having defeated Warwick at the Second Battle of St.
Albans, when on 4 March, Edward of York was proclaimed king in
London. The Lancastrians withdrew northwards and Edward followed in
pursuit. The two armies met at the village of Towton on 29 March
1461. This long and bitter battle began early as the two armies
advanced towards each other, raging all day with the Lancastrians
seeming to have the better of it, until the Duke of Norfolk arrived
with several thousand Yorkist reinforcements., resulting in what is
known as 'Bloody Meadow'. This book reveals how Towton marked the
resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established Edward IV as king.
