8 ай бұрынSandal castle witnessed some pivotal moments during the Wars of the Roses, where it saw the downfall of Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of York. The Duke and his men were surrounded by the Lancastrian army, yet the Duke decided to leave the relative safety of the castle walls and march out to meet the Lancastrians in battle...with disastrous consequences

Thank you for this. I believe Richard was of course beheaded by way of execution and didn't die in battle. Having his head put on display in York. I think that this humilation could have angered Edward more than anything. Leading then to Towton. 👍
