Today, 560 years ago, the Battle of Towton – the bloodiest fought on British soil and the most notorious of the Wars of the Roses – was fought. Here, author and historian Tom Lewis debunks the myths and mysteries surrounding what is considered one of the most pivotal events in British history.
Medieval Military Combat: Battle Tactics and Fighting Techniques of the Wars of the Roses
By Tom Lewis
We don’t know exactly how medieval soldiers fought their battles. This book shows, for the first time, the techniques that may have been used by soldiers. It also breaks new ground in establishing medieval battle numbers as highly exaggerated, and that we need to look again at the accounts of actions such as the famous Battle of Towton, which is used as its overall study.
