  On Palm Sunday 1461, a bitterly contested battle was fought by two massive medieval armies for the prize of the crown of England. This work explores what drove the contending armies of York and Lancaster to fight at Towton in the longest, biggest and bloodiest battle ever staged on British soil, and examines the legends surrounding the terrible encounter, including that of the rivers running red with blood.
