At the crescendo of the Second Barons' War were the battles of
Lewes and Evesham. It was an era of high drama and intrigue, as
tensions between crown and aristocracy had boiled over and a civil
war erupted that would shape the future of English government. In
this detailed study, Richard Brooks unravels the remarkable events
of the battles of Lewes and Evesham, revealing the unusually
tactical nature of the fighting, in sharp contrast to most medieval
conflicts which were habitually settled by burning and ravaging. At
Lewes, Simon de Montfort, the powerful renegade leader of the
Baronial faction, won a vital victory, smashing the Royalist forces
and capturing Henry III and Prince Edward. Edward escaped, however,
to lead the Royalist armies to a crushing victory just a year later
at Evesham. Using full colour illustrations, bird's-eye views and
detailed maps to generate an arresting visual perspective of the
fighting, this book tells the full story of the battles of Lewes
and Evesham, the only pitched battles to be fought by English
armies in the mid-13th century.
