Finally visited St. Mary’s Lead today. It was bathed in a gorgeous, early evening light. Hard to imagine that one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on England’s soil, The Battle of Towton was fought a mile or so from this place in 1461

17 February 1461. 2nd Battle of St Albans Despite Yorkist defensive preparations for battle north of St Albans, Margaret of Anjou's Lancastrians surprise Warwick's men by entering and capturing the town from the west and attacking them from the rear. The Yorkists flee.

🚨 NERD ALERT 🚨 My shopping bill was £14.83 and the historian in me cried out in joy @LidlGB 🥳 English history fans will know 1483 is the year Edward IV died, his son Edward V's claim denied and Richard III ascended the throne. Yes *him*, the King under the Leicester car park @rsociety_iii @KRIIICentre I am now happy to die and go to heaven (well maybe not yet!) #History #Plantagenets #RichardIII #HouseOfYork #educatorsoftiktok #teachersoftiktok #historytok #britishhistory #englishhistory #williamshakespeare #shakespeare #medievaltiktok
