About this product

Product Information

The battle at Towton in Yorkshire on 29 March 1461 was 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. This bitter contest of arms was a turning point in the Wars of the Roses and - as a result of the discoveries of modern archaeological research - it is one of the best known. John Sadler, in this vivid reconstruction of the battle, offers a fresh view of a pivotal episode in English history and an unflinching insight into the cruelties of medieval warfare.

  • Great book about the biggest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soli

    This was recommended to me to read a long time ago. Great book about the biggest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil. The impact of the battle of Towton cannot be underestimated. Essential reading for any Wars of the Roses aficionado. It would be another 10 years before the Lancastrians would be able properly to raise another army capable of attempting to topple the Yorkists which in turn would also fail.
