To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This day, so bold, of heroics untold, Was known as the Much Slaying.
—Unknown poet, 15th c. following the Battle of Towton March 30, 1461 A.D.
The Towton battlefield aftermath The battle, more than most, had been brutal to a fault. Even though it was March, there had been a heavy snowfall most of the day, adding to the misery of a battle that had seen seventy thousand participants fighting for the houses of Lancaster and York, in the culmination of battles upon battles with seemingly no end. Yet... this battle had an end. It was almost over; decisively over. The smell of victory was almost as heavy as the smell of death.
The big knight plowed his way through the slushy, bloody snow, mingled with mud that gave it a brick-red appearance. There were bodies everywhere of the dead and dying, and he found himself stumbling over men who were breathing their last and calling to gods or wives or mothers. Still, he ignored them, singularly focused at the moment. He had been summoned.
A bone-weary foot soldier had called him to Northumberland’s tent.
