‘A new study which eloquently pieces together theory, facts and insights to paint a compelling picture of Richard, Duke of York and his journey to one of the nation’s most pivotal battles - via the most convincing account of the ‘Battle’ of Worksop I have ever read.’
Mark Taylor, Chairman of Towton Battlefield Society
On 30th December 1460, the veteran warlord Richard of York led his small army to catastrophic defeat at the Battle of Wakefield – and the reason for his suicidal decision has been misunderstood ever since. Traditionally, York is thought to be a poor commander, arrogant and reckless, who is deservedly mocked in nursery rhyme; or an heroic failure who gallantly attempted to rescue a foraging party, punish enemy perfidy or avenge insults to his honour. But The Battle of Wakefield Revisited explores a more convincing explanation for York’s conduct, using historical and archaeological evidence to dispel these popular misconceptions about the Duke and his ill-fated northern campaign.
