A Victorian antiquary walked the battlefields of the Wars of the Roses and describes each as it looked in his own day: Blore Heath, Northampton, Wakefield, Mortimer’s Cross, Towton, Tewkesbury, Bosworth and Stoke, with Evesham and Barnet added. He sets the ground beside the chroniclers’ accounts and closes with papers on fifteenth-century firearms and Cheshire family history.

Ideal for battlefield walkers and readers of the Wars of the Roses who want to picture the ground itself. Download the free EPUB.
