	Battle of Towton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Towton in the Wars of the Roses was the bloodiest ever fought on British soil, with casualties believed to have been in excess of 20,000 (perhaps as many as 30,000) men.
		The battle took place on a snowy 29 March 1461 (Palm Sunday) on a plateau between the villages of Towton and Saxton in Yorkshire (about 12 miles southwest of York and about 2 miles south of Tadcaster).
		At this point in the civil war, the Lancastrians were on equal terms with the Yorkists, having eliminated York and Salisbury from the scene at the Battle of Wakefield, and been victorious at the Second Battle of St Albans.

	The Battle of Losecote Field 1470
		Due to Welles’ voluntary misinterpretation, rumors were quickly spread that the King was coming to try the formally pardoned rebels from Edgecote, and that he would ‘hang and draw a great number’ of them.
		Edward quickly positioned his men in a battle line opposite that of Welles, and then in the space separating the two armies had Welles’ father executed in view of all.
		Not wanting to be caught wearing such incriminating evidence by pursuing troops, many of the men discarded their garments, thus the battle was christened ‘Losecote’.
