Περιγραφή για Fatal Colours: Towton, 1461 - England's Most Brutal Battle George Goodwin Weidenfeld & Nicolson

A gripping account of the Wars of the Roses battle of Towton - the most brutal day in English history.\'Vivid, humane and superbly researched\' David Starkey\'The story has never been told so well or so excitingly\' Desmond SewardThe Battle of Towton in 1461 was unique in its ferocity and brutality, as the armies of two kings of England engaged with murderous weaponry and in appalling conditions to conclude the first War of the Roses. Variously described as the largest, longest and bloodiest battle on English soil, Towton was fought with little chance of escape and none of surrender. Fatal Colours includes a cast of strong and compelling characters: a warrior queen, a ruthless king-making earl, even a papal legate who excommunicates an entire army.Combining medieval sources and modern scholarship, George Goodwin colourfully recreates the atmosphere of 15th century England and chronicles the vicious in-fighting as the increasingly embittered royal factions struggle for supremacy.
