Towton 1461, England's Bloodiest Battle, by Christopher Gravett

On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29th March 1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in Yorkshire.  The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses.  With the arrival of Yorkist reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'.  This book examines the campaign that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established King Edward IV as king.

Bosworth 1485, Last Charge of the Plantagenets by Christopher Gravett

On 22 August 1485 a king and a challenger for the throne faced each other on a battlefield for the first time in the Wars of the Roses, at stake was the throne itself. The Battle of Bosworth is therefore one of the most important battles in English history as it effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle of the Wars of the Roses and placed the Tudor house on the throne of England. Since his death in battle against Henry Tudor, argument has raged around the central figure to the story, the controversial King Richard III. Shakespeare's image of a twisted and tortured king remains influential despite years of academic study, whilst the mystery of the Princes in the tower still retains its potency. Christopher Gravett cuts through this myth and propaganda to detail the course of this pivotal campaign that decided the fate of a dynasty.
