SUMMARY:The Battle of Towton - Britain's Bloodiest?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging talk about the Battle of Towton which ushered in the Yorkist dynasty. \nWhat happened on Palm Sunday in March 1461 was a significant event in English history. With the resounding victory of the Yorkists over the Lancastrians\, Edward IV was able to solidify his claim to the crown and reorganize government. However\, this battle remains deeply misunderstood. From its snowy weather to its massive troop strength to its appalling mortality rates\, the battle has fostered countless legends and misconceptions. Dr David Grummitt will take us through the true history of Towton\, using original sources and the latest in scholarly research. \n  \nDr. Grummitt is a Staff Tutor at The Open University (UK) and has written extensively on the Wars of the Roses. He was a Senior Research Fellow on the 1422-1461 section of the History of Parliament Trust\, before taking up a lectureship at the University of Kent. He now works at the Open University and continues to publish extensively on the fifteenth century. In 2024\, he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Richard III Society (UK). In 2025\, Oxford University Press published his latest book\, The Wars of the Roses: War and Martial Culture in England\, 1455-1487. \n \n  \n
