[Orwellsbud]

Yeah it was, the War of the Roses effectually finished when Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at The Battle of Bosworth field.

[Emzport]

I love this music, what's it called?

[Orwellsbud]

It's Mozart's Requiem

[MultiAngryguy]

The '3 suns' appeared at the Battle of Mortimers cross not Towton. Your right about Towton though, its the bloodiest battle that has ever occurred on British soil.

[PennyTraition]

And finally, thankyou Orwellsbud, for uploading this fantastic video...Celtic Elmet and surrounds (see Kirkstall Abbey,Ilkley, 'Goddess of Wharfedale' site on line, also,'Mysterious Britain & Ireland',free to visit and join..about All Parish Church, Ilkley, Wharfedale, Airedale, Calderdale and other great places), the Parsonage at Howarth,'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte,Whitby where Stoker was influenced to write 'Dracula', the Moors, Now in YORKSHIRE...Haunted, Beautiful Castles,etc: YORKS!

[PennyTraition]

Part 3...The most of England was under the rule of Northumbria, except for Cornwall and CUMBRIA, home of my relatives,(Penrith, Norse descendants, Carlisle, and into SW Scotland the Armstrongs (first man on the moon), Langholm near Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway...)

The Battle of Towton Moor, ('Bloody Meadow',fought in a raging blizzard, with an apparition of 3 suns, taken to be a good omen by the Yorkists,took place on Sun, 29/3/1461, the bloodiest battle to be fought on British soil).ELMET!

[PennyTraition]

(cont)...The wooden church, dedicated to St. Peter, was burned down by Penda, the future site of YORK MINSTER.Edwin's head was cut off and put on a spike.(The next King of Northumbria had been Oswald, killed by Penda, treated similarly to Edwin,who then followed the Cock Beck, near The Crooked Billet pub,and Lead Church for Battle(Later,travellers classed the bridge as Haunted, and a by-law stated folk were within their rights to spend the night by the pub.

After the battle, NORTHUMBRIA ruled.

[PennyTraition]

Just what we neeed...Towton was scene of battles previously, as Leeds and surrounding areas were known as Celtic ELMET, the Kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia ,also Mercia,recently combined to form a New Kingdom,NORTHUMBRIA, with YORK (Romano-Celtic 'Ebaraucum', Viking 'Jorvik',) where I lived and worked on the archaeological dig at York Uni, the Saxons led by the Pagan King Edwin(baptized in the fabulous river Ouse, by (St.) Paulinus, having been Chr*st*anised by his wife's chaplain,built a church.

@ADZ01982 Oh I know that the last battle of the War of the Roses is considered to be the Battle of Stoke where supporters for the pretender Lambert Simnel were defeated. I was just pointing out that the Yorkist threat did not go away with the Battle of Bosworth-Tudor propaganda would have tried to give that idea though.

[ADZ01982]

@crimsonscarlettrose The Last Battle of the War of the Roses was Stoke 1487 when the final Yorkist army was defeated. However, as you said, there was plots and conspiracys for a hundred years after this and the House of Tudor lived in constant fear of this.

[ADZ01982]

@Cofidre09 Effectively no side was victorious because the Henry the VII created the House of Tudor when he became King and York And Lancaster were not the ruling partys.

Lancastrian bastards

[Cofidre09]

@jjj69v Well it depends on how you view it. The Battle of Bosworth was won by Henry VII (Lancastrian). However he did marry Elizabeth of York (Yorkist) and the children they had were half Lancastrian and Yorkist so technically neither side won.
