This is a great piece of original detective work. I dont agree with some things, but then I wouldn’t. History is all about questioning what happened - or where would we be? www.medievalists.net/2025/07/wars...
Wars of the Roses Battle May Not Have Been a Battle at All, Historians Find - Medievalists.net
New research challenges the traditional story of the Battle of Wakefield, suggesting it may not have been a battle at all—but an ambush and murder of Yorkist leaders during the Wars of the Roses.

Panoramic view of Towton battlefield (1461) taken in 1976. I patched this together from single shots before iPhones and the like. It shows the full extent of the Yorkist position seen from the Lancastrian lines beside the memorial cross. Tempus fugit.

#OTD 1483 👑👑. Richard III and his wife the Lady Anne, by Edwin Austin Abbey, 1896. Always liked this painting, but it still fascinates me how the ‘Shakespearian Richard’ has always crept into art and media over the years. No wonder we have the wrong idea of his real character.
