	Richard III Society - Battle of Barnet
		Battle commenced with the usual artillery exchange, and Edward's guns were probably ranged more accurately, since the Yorkist gunners probably had some idea of the enemy position from observing gunflashes and fall of shot.
		Once battle was joined, it was a question of slogging away to the bitter end, which is why morale, confidence, and the steadying influence of veterans and valiant commanders were so important in deciding the day.
		The ring in question was a possession of the Crown, from the time of the battle until George IV gave it to a 'lady friend' as a present and shows every indication of having been the property of Richard Neville and dating from the late 15th.
