A gripping account of the Wars of the Roses battle of Towton - the
most brutal day in English history. 'Vivid, humane and superbly
researched' David Starkey 'The story has never been told so well or
so excitingly' Desmond Seward The Battle of Towton in 1461 was
unique in its ferocity and brutality, as the armies of two kings of
England engaged with murderous weaponry and in appalling conditions
to conclude the first War of the Roses. Variously described as the
largest, longest and bloodiest battle on English soil, Towton was
fought with little chance of escape and none of surrender. Fatal
Colours includes a cast of strong and compelling characters: a
warrior queen, a ruthless king-making earl, even a papal legate who
excommunicates an entire army. Combining medieval sources and
modern scholarship, George Goodwin colourfully recreates the
atmosphere of 15th century England and chronicles the vicious
in-fighting as the increasingly embittered royal factions struggle
for supremacy.
